Breathing: Difference between revisions

|Nutshell=informs us about the breath which is an essential part of any meditative practice.  For [[Everyday Enlightenment]], The Breath holds a unique place because anyone can use their breath as a Mindful practice to bring attention to The Now.  On the other hand, breathing exercises are typically done while in a meditative state, which is not an emphasis of Everyday Enlightenment.

There are a few main points about breathing as part of this practice.

* Learning to harness The Breath is essential and powerful.  Any serious study of [[Enlightenment|Enlightenment]] or [[Attention|Mindfulness]] absolutely must incorporate breathing exercises.

If you need to, start by searching for some [[Attention|Mindful]] breathing exercises or start with the Resources below.

Once you are comfortable with those exercises, and the concept of Mindful Breathing, look for ways to adapt what you've learned as part of Everyday Enlightenment.  For example, whenever you sit down, take a mindful moment and notice the next breath you take.  Or whenever you are doing any other Mindful practice, add The Breath to that practice or exercise.
