Finding Stillness (Minimal-Guidance)

More than meditation, it’s through stillness that the mind settles, the body heals, and you become more aware of and sensitive to the subtle language of the body: physical sensations. Stillness is also the birthplace of self-awareness. When you truly understand yourself, you are empowered to make more conscious and responsive decisions rather than the same old reactive and subconscious choices. To know ourselves, we must practice being still.

Finding a comfortable place in posture and gently closing down the eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.

Use these first few moments and breaths to take your attention inward and settle into a sense of stillness.

Now shifting your attention to the air coming in and out of the nostrils.

For the next few minutes of silence,

Whenever you notice that the mind has wandered away or become distracted,

Gently and softly shift your attention back to your breathing.

Nothing else is necessary.

Nothing more is required.
