Beginner Buddhist Meditation

This method of speculation trusts on the control of your breathing. Brand yourself comfy and follow these easy steps, each measure can be held for as long as you see fit. (This method is my ain personal method adapted from the Buddhist Breath Meditation methods).

1. Start by taking long breaths, whilst thought "re" on the in-breath and "lax" on the out-breath. Making certain to throw both the "re" and the "lax" for as long as the breath.

2. Whilst pickings the same long breaths, go aware of each in and out breath.

3. While external respiration in and out, take notice of the comfortableness of the breath. Notice whether the breath experiences narrow, free, even, uneven etc. If the breaths don't experience comfortable, then change your external respiration until they do. When you attain a comfy point of breath, do certain you go on this style of breathing, allowing this sense experience to distribute to all corners of your body.

For example, inhale whilst focusing on the alkali of the skull and letting it flux down your spine, down your leg and to the exclusive of your ft and toes. On the adjacent breath, let it to go from the alkali of your skull down over both your shoulders, past your elbow joints and carpuses and to the tips of your fingers. Feel free to build your ain ways between the corners of your body.

4. This measure centres around the accommodation of your breathing. There are four basic ways to change your breath;

- IN long, out long

- IN short, out short

- IN short, out long

- IN long, out short

Alternate between these different external respiration techniques till you happen the most comfy for you.

5. Whilst external respiration in your most comfy way, go familiar with the points of your breath, which look most comfortable. For example, this point could be the tip of your nose, or the alkali of the pharynx etc. When you go familiar with this point, centre your consciousness on this point. The chief point here is to be at easiness with your breath.

6. Spread this awareness/sense of consciousness as broadly as possible throughout your body, allowing them to flux together comfortably.
