The perception that arises or emerges when focusing attention consciously and uncritically in the present moment (Jon Kabakin)

Try Meditation - 7 Practice Methods

Exercise 1 Mindful Breathing: Enjoy The Moment

Please stay and see where the breathing is most obvious on your body
After you have determined this part, put your attention here in the rest of the mindful breathing exercises, instead of constantly changing the part.
Your task is simple, to be aware of the sensations that breath brings to this body part.
No need to count interest, no need to control it, or mediate it
You know, distraction or distraction is something that happens naturally, you just need to pay attention to breathing again after you notice it.
Exercise 2 Body Scan: Listen to the body


Don’t have to do anything, just experience the existing feeling purely
If any emotions or thoughts arise, please confirm their talents, then put them down, and return your attention to the physical sensations.
In the body scan, there is no goal other than to feel the sensations of the body.
When scanning the body, there is no need to expect or pursue a certain feeling, just what it feels like. There is no right or wrong, no should or should not.
Exercise 3 Concept: thoughts ≠ facts

In meditation, you are not trying to stop thinking, on the contrary, you are trying to cultivate a wise relationship with your thoughts.
Give the thought a name, such as plan, memory, worry, fantasy...
Exercise 4: Emotion: dance with emotions
When emotions arise, observe it with patience, curiosity and non-judgment
Just open to it, experience it, accept it, don’t need to change it
And feel the corresponding physical sensations
Exercise 5 Three-step breathing: return from busyness
Step 1: Stand upright/sit upright, perceive the moment, enter the breathing space
Step 2: Concentrate all senses and focus on the abdomen
The third step: expand perception, feel the body, sitting posture, expression, inner heart
Exercise 6 Thanksgiving exercise: relax before bed

Exercise 7 Loving kindness exercise: sowing the seeds of love
