Breathing Meditation

A Way to Calm Your Body and Still Your Mind

 Breathing meditation exercises prepare you for your meditation. Before you start the meditation, you first have to get your body to relax. Breathing exercises helps you to relax. It can be done in different ways.

Breathing Exercise

To get warmed up for the meditation, your body and your mind should first relax. Take a slow deep breath, and let the air go all the way down to your lower abdomen. Imagine the incoming air as a cold, blue wind that enters your nostril. Hold your breath for a second and feel the great amount of energy it brings to your lungs. Let it fill your body and then slowly let it out through your mouth, and visualize it as a warm, red wind, drained from all its energy. Take another deep breath, while imagining the blue cold wind entering your nostril. Repeat this breathing exercise till you feel relaxed.

During this breathing exercise your mind should be thoughtless. Your only focus should be on your breathing but your mind will probably be invaded with many irrelevant thoughts. Do not try to ignore them. You have to acknowledge them, and then you can let go of them. You could keep a note book nearby, to write the thoughts down, so that you can deal with them later, but try not to be to distracted.
