Maintaining a Mindful Life

Mindfulness Meditation - Comma

Now, just with the body balanced in the chair and the eyes gently closed. Just
simply hold the whole body in awareness for this moment. Just aware of what the
body is feeling. Just present. Noticing the entry and exit of the breath. Not having
to interfere with it, but just simply feeling it. And if you're happy to, just simply
drawing in a deep breath and letting it out slowly and gently. And another breath in
and out slowly and gently.

Now just letting the breathing find its own rhythm. If thoughts or feelings are
arising, then just noticing them, not having to suppress them, just observing them
but preferring to let the attention rest with the breathing.

So when you're ready, allowing the eyes to gently open and then mindfully move
into whatever activities await you.
