Mindfulness of Breathing (20 mins)

A 20 minute Mindfulness of Breathing meditation from Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
In this meditation we bring awareness to breathing which is a very powerful practice, because when we are aware of the breath, we are anchored in the present moment.

Often in meditation, we realise that we are no longer in touch with the breath, we are lost in thought, and this is also a very powerful aspect of the practice as it teaches us to be more aware of what’s happening in the mind.

This is a beautiful gentle meditation that grounded and gifted me with a deep sense of inner calm. I love all of your meditations: gentle voice, clarity of guidance (and nice without music). Thank you dearly . Lynn

Excellent mindful breathing exercise. Good sound quality, good pacing. I'm sure I'll come back to this one often. Thanks, Neil. ☺🙏

I really appreciate the kind invitation you evoke in these practices; thank you

So happy to find these guided meditations on here. Former student of Neil's and so pleased to hear your calming and kind voice again.

So good! Thank you 😊

Lovely gentle pace. Thank you

A very simple meditation, I think great especially for beginners or anyone wanting a reminder to focus on the body and breath. As an experienced meditator, I found it a little too simple. I gave it a 5 as I feel would be good for beginners. Thanks.

Wonderful way to start my day 🌟 peacefulness 🦋✨🦋
