- Choose a quiet, comfortable place free from distractions. Sit quietly; the instructions describe sitting with your eyes closed.
- Notice each inhalation and exhalation without changing your breathing. Simply think about your breathing and register it as you attend to it.
- Attend to internal bodily sensations, such as your body’s contact with the seat. Notice how your body feels, including the contact of your skin with the surface you’re on.
- When thoughts drift, gently bring your focus back to your breath and bodily sensations. Mind-wandering is expected; returning attention is part of the practice.
