Anapanasati Morning Meditation for Beginners (Vipassana)

In this 15-minute morning meditation, you'll begin developing mindfulness through the simple observation of the natural breath. Gently place your attention on the area below the nostrils and observe each inhalation and exhalation exactly as it is.

As you sit quietly, notice the breath's rhythm, speed, depth, and duration without trying to control it. Whenever the mind wanders, calmly return your awareness to the breath, cultivating concentration, clarity, and inner peace.
