Sensing your body during meditation


1.      Begin this exercise with focusing on your breath. Then extend your attention to include an awareness of your entire body. In particular, focus on your arms and legs along with your breath. When your attention wanders, bring it back to focus on your legs and arms.

2.      As in the proceeding exercise, don’t judge yourself when your mind wanders. Each time you find yourself distracted; gently bring your attention back to focus on your arms and legs, and breathing. You may need to do this many times at first. With practice, your concentration should improve.

3.      Start with practicing this exercise for ten minutes and work up to thirty minutes.
