Conduct a Breath Meditations
This is a traditional meditation that teaches us present moment focus. We learn to focus on our breath, and when our mind wanders off, we gently guide it back to our breath. Our minds will always wander, and the point of this meditation lies in us noticing when it wanders and redirecting it back, not preventing it from ever wandering in the first place.
The skills that we are practicing are:
- Attentional Awareness (noticing where our attention is placed at any given moment).
- Presence (redirecting it back to the present moment).
