1.11.11 Part 4 Review of Mindfulness based Breathing Meditation
Shift from the thinking doing mind, that is no longer helpful to the feeling-sensing-experiencing mind, that will lead to increasing levels of calmness, relaxation & peace.
Slow down and stop, or at lease pause to become aware of the present moment by feeling the breathing sensations, and when distracted return back to the breathing.
The basic formula is pull yourself into the present moment and keep yourself in the present moment, moment by moment by feeling the breathing sensations, as you breathe, over and over, sooner rather than later you will be distracted by anything, after you notice the distraction, return back to feeling the breathing sensations over and over.
This is essentially an exercise in becoming mindfully Aware and Letting Go!
Become aware of the present and let go of the past and the future.
Become aware of your body breathing and let go of everything else.
Become aware any tension in your body, and let it go.
Become aware of thinking about breathing sensations and let go of all other thoughts.
Become aware of the feelings associated with the physical sensations of the breathing and let go thinking and everything else.
Become aware of any and every distraction the pulls your focus off feeling the breathing sensations, and like the breathing sensations, let the distractions come, let them be momentarily, and then let them go, to return back to feel the breathing.
