To use your breathing to nurture mindfulness, just tune in to the feeling of it… the feeling of the breath coming into your body and the feeling of the breath leaving your body. That’s all. Just feeling the breath. Breathing and knowing that you’re breathing. This doesn’t mean deep breathing or forcing your breathing or trying to feel something special, or wondering if you’re doing it right. It doesn’t mean thinking about your breathing either. It’s just a bare bones awareness of the breath moving in and the breath moving out. ~
