Technique and Types of Mindfulness Exercise

The main purpose of the mindful exercise is to focus your attention on your breath as you allow your thoughts and sensations to vary in the background. You just need to sit in a comfortable place to sit. Try to straighten your posture and put your feet flat on the ground.

Gently, close your eyes, and let your shoulders drop down and away from your ears. Now, rest your hands gently on your belly with the fingertips of each hand lightly touching in the middle. Do inhale and exhale process or say mindfulness breathing exercises slowly. While breath in you can notice your belly push your hand gently apart, however, while breathing out, notice your belly sink back towards your spine as you release your breath. Now, continue your inhale and exhale processing, and try to be free of any thoughts so that you can get the maximum benefit of this exercise.

Does your mind wander? Well, it’s normal, don’t feel anxiety. Simply notice that your mind has wandered and gently bring your attention back to your breath. Continue to focus on your breathing and stay in this relaxed state for as long as you like. When you are ready, slowly open your eyes and bring your attention back to your surroundings.
