20 Minute Breath Meditation For Focus & Mindfulness

Welcome to this 20-minute meditation focused on watching the breath. This practice is designed to build mindfulness, promote calm, and strengthen concentration.

You will be guided to place your attention on the sensation of the breath at the nostrils. The practice begins by mentally noting “inhale” and “exhale” as the breath touches this fixed point, helping to stabilize attention.

Once your focus becomes steady, you will gently drop the mental labeling and rest in direct awareness of the raw sensation of the breath.

This meditation can be used on its own or as a warm-up for another meditation practice, and will begin and end with the sound of a bell.
