Mindfulness Guided Meditation



mindfulness guided meditation
Mindfulness meditation (vipassana) ?

in the meditAtion guide I have, it says to focus on your breath sensation, unfortunely for me there is barely sensTion of breathing in my body. Just the feeling of air going in and out of my nostrils. Should I just focus on that?

also, my Mind races so much thAt I can barely even focus on just one in breath.

Also when I do focus on the sensation of my nostrils, it feels like my breAth is forced and I am not breathing normally. Can you please help? Was it like this for you when you started? I think these are all signs that meditAtion will do me good but it’s so hard I need some encouragement.

Thanks
sorry crazy arab i typed this from my phone

These problems are very common for beginners. I advise reading Mindfulness in Plain English. It touches on all the questions you’ve just asked. It’s not the best book, but it can definitely help you and it’s easy to understand.
First of all, about that air going in and out of your nostrils, yes, that is, in my opinion, the best way to focus on breathing- it’s what I do, anyway. Your second problem, the feeling like you’re forcing your breathing, is really a part of the meditation process. Basically, what I do and suggest, is to just accept however you’re breathing as exactly how you should be breathing. In time it should feel much more natural.
Also, for what it’s worth, what I do at the beginning of meditation is take three long, full breaths, filling my lungs completely and letting them out completely, one after another. Then I let my body take in the air it needs by itself. Normally I don’t have to think about breathing, so why should I while I’m meditating? This helps me focus on the sensation, and not on making it.
Meditation techniques are different for different people though, so while I hope this helps, you’re probably going to have to find what works best for you through trial and error.

Here’s a link to the book I mentioned, Mindfulness in Plain English, so if you’re interested, you can read it online.

The Path of Mindfulness Meditation Mindfulness and mindfulness meditation are indispensable skills for modern day life. Mindfulness allows us to connect to the essence of our being, and through mindfulness, we gain freedom from the patterns of habitual reactivity that create suffering and conflict in our lives. In the spacious dimension of mindfulness, we create the ideal conditions in which our intuitive innate intelligence can arise and flourish, bringing about transformation and healing in our mind and in our relationships. This message was taught by the Buddha over 2500 years ago and has been taught ever since by many great teachers, both Buddhist and nonBuddhist. The Path of Mindfulness Meditation is a comprehensive and indepth exploration of mindfulness, mindfulness meditation and mindfulnessbased psychotherapy.
