Transcript

In this mindful meditation we'll focus on concentration to help us become more tuned in and productive individuals.

Through practice you'll be better equipped to quiet brain activity related to mind-wandering.

So let's start in a comfortable seated position sitting upright.

Let the eyes close and begin to connect with the breath.

Taking a deep inhale through the nose and hold briefly at the top of the inhalation and then slowly and deeply exhale through the nose.

Again inhale slowly and deeply feeling the expansion the opening.

Hold the breath and then exhale to release letting go.

Keep breathing on your own now remembering deep inhale to expand holding the breath and then exhale releasing.

Part of concentration is letting go of other thoughts to focus on just the one thing at hand.

So in this practice try to solely focus on the breath giving secondary thoughts feelings or emotions that may arise as distractions.

So breathing in complete undistracted focus.

Still with the breath.

We tend to think that multitasking is extra brain power but studies show that it's actually inefficient and decreases productivity and increases stress.

When we're multitasking we're limiting our present focus there's a chance to miss something.

So throw out your mental to-do list focus on just one thing at a time right now just into your attention around the breath.

Do less but better.

Stay with the breath.

If distractions do arise allow yourself to be more concerned with the awareness of these thoughts than in getting caught up in the thoughts themselves.

So notice that you've wandered and come back to the breath.

Stay with the breath.

You you you Take one last deep inhale and a deep exhale.

Remember to focus only on the present and make it specific.

This can help increase your creativity,

Productivity,

Your connection with others and can lower stress.

Thank you so much for taking the time to meditate with me today.

Namaste.
