Читать книгу 20 MINUTES TO MASTER … MEDITATION - Christina Feldman, Christina Feldman - Страница 31

After settling your body in your chosen meditation posture, turn your attention inward to be aware of your breathing process. Don’t attempt to alter or control your breathing – it will not accelerate your capacity to concentrate – but simply attend to the natural rhythm of your breath. The purpose of counting is to aid us in focusing our attention upon our breath and bring us closer to each breath as it occurs.

As you breathe in, silently count one, as you breathe out count two. Continue up until ten and then begin again with one.

There will be times when your attention becomes lost in a thought process – the moment you become aware of this simply return to counting one and continue. Continue with the counting until your attention begins to feel steady and established in your breathing process and then let the counting go, remembering that the counting is only a tool to establish your attention.
