> The simple act of watching the breath is one of the oldest forms of mindfulness / meditation. 

> The beauty of the breath is that it will be with you your entire life, right under your nose!

> Similarly to Grounding on Day #2, Mindful Breathing brings your attention back to your body, out of the Thinking mind and back to the Sensing mind, where you engage in the experience itself .
​
​> This is one of my favourite ways to incorporate mindfulness into my daily life as it is so accessible and very relaxing.

For example:
There are two main options with this one:
1) Take time out to do this in a quiet place in a seated or lying position
2) Mindfully observe your breath at any time throughout the day 

​Either way, simply notice your breath - exactly as it is. Don’t force it or try and breathe in a certain way. Any combination of nose / mouth breathing is fine when it comes to mindful breathing. 

Tune into where you most notice the breath enter and exit the body - perhaps the nose or mouth. Feel into the sensations here. Then observe where your body makes any subtle movements as you breathe. You may notice the chest or belly rise and fall, or any other slight movements or shifts as you breathe. Next follow each breath cycle - from the initiation of the inhale, the rise, the peak, the dip and transition into the exhale, then the brief moment of stillness between each breath before your body initiates the next in-breath. 

There is nothing to do here but hold a magnifying glass over your breaths it is right now.

​Breathe.
Observe.
Allow. 
Feel.
