Focus your attention on your breath when do the “Guided Breath Meditation to Calm the Mind and Body”. You can begin with a deep breath inhaling slowly, feel your lungs and belly filling with fresh air.  Concentrate on the inhale, holding of the breath and the exhale.  When exhaling breathe out deeply, exhaling heavy thoughts, negativity, stress and feelings that you no longer need.  Continue to focus on your each breath for the entire duration of your meditation. If you feel yourself drifting or dozing you can open your eyes slightly, gently bring yourself back to your breath. We want meditation, which is having clarity of mind, not falling asleep.  Avoid the chatter in the mind, we call monkey brain.  When thoughts pop in the mind don’t fight them, notice them and let them leave.   Taking a deep breath and straightening your spine can help to re-focus. If it feels uncomfortable, confusing or challenging, the mind starts chattering simply observe your feelings and thoughts, and remind yourself that all you need to be aware of is your breath. Your breath is your anchor keep returning to the breath.  Repeat the Guided Breath Meditation to Calm the Mind and Body for 15 minutes.

This can help you to take the first step to relax your body and reduce stress.
