SELF-GUIDED PRACTICE

How to practice

  1. Sit, stand, or lie comfortably with the spine supported or naturally upright.
  2. Let the breath breathe itself; do not deepen, slow, or improve it on purpose.
  3. Choose one clear place to feel breathing, such as the nostrils, chest, ribs, or belly.
  4. Feel one inhale from beginning to end, then one exhale from beginning to end.
  5. Notice pauses, texture, temperature, and movement only if they are naturally obvious.
  6. When attention wanders, acknowledge it briefly and return to the next available breath.
  7. If breath focus feels uncomfortable, open the eyes and shift to sounds or feet on the floor.
  8. Close by taking one ordinary breath without needing it to be calm or special.

Stay comfortable. You can stop at any time or return to your natural breath.
