Attention Meditation: Exteroceptive Meditation

This specific meditation is designed to help you focus your attention on external stimuli: things you see, hear, smell, or feel that happen outside of you. This particular meditation is useful if you find yourself overly focused on bodily sensations such as your breath or heartbeat, your thoughts, or your feelings.

If you have struggled with specific meditations before, please listen to my Science Insight on how Meditation shapes Attention to understand why this may have been the case.
