MIDL 15min 01 / 20: Grounding Your Attention

15 Minutes of Mindfulness is an introductory insight meditation series by Stephen Procter that will help you develop mindfulness and calm in your daily life. It is helpful to think of insight meditation as a physical exercise for your mind.

Your mindfulness training exercise in this first meditation is to strengthen your mindfulness and observational skills by being aware of different sensations within your body and observing when your attention habitually wanders to thoughts, sounds, etc.

Please take the time to leave a review and feedback. I look forward to hearing about your experience with this mindfulness exercise and offering guidance to any questions about your meditation practice.

With kindness,
Stephen.

I think every meditation by Stephen Proctor is amazing! This one is great if you’re a little short on time. I think the act of recognizing when your mind wanders is extremely hard but very important.

Beautiful meditation . Much love and gratitude to you for creating it .❤️🙏

One to come back to when my mind is jumping around. Thank you

I find all of Stephen’s guided meditations very helpful. His kind and well timed comments help me refocus and improve my practice. Thank you 🙏🏻

As always, such a soothing voice with his profound ability to reallly get you to the place of mindfulness. Thank you Stephen.😊

Great pace and soft, kind voice. I'm feeling more grounded, present and relaxed afterwards. Thank you!

Thank you 😊
Good pace, and ques. Always feel better when present in my body.

A great way to see how often my mind wanders when I am trying to focus on something. Thank you for showing me with such kindness.

I am very grateful for these shorter sessions with the instruction to use daily for a week before moving onto the next one.

Makes it nice and clear to follow. Also the length is less intimidating and easier to fit into my day, which means I’m more likely to do it! 🙏💖

Great way to initially learn or reconnect with guiding principles. Thank you!

Five years later and i am still revisiting these. Thank you, Stephen

Very good practice. Thank You.

I am so glad I found you. Good meditation for a noisy mind. Will be a daily practice for me.

Awesome, allowed to become noticeably more aware of my body after the meditation.

Excellent simplicity. Gratitude for creating and sharing 🙏

Very simple, basic meditation. Just right amount of instruction.

Thank you, very helpful to get the little reminders to check in if you are still aware 🌻

I sooooo appreciate all your guided meditations- they seem to work for me better than any others - I always come back to yours and wonder why do I even bother to venture elsewhere - Thank you!

Great....very impressed. Will attend another of yours.

Hi Steven.
Thank you and is the object to “lock on” to the various physical states to see how long we can keep the attention trained thereby or is it a more casual attention with just noticing the amount of times the attention wonders?
