Mindfulness Meditation For Calm & Clarity

 Welcome to Mind Training Matters. My name is Kevin Parker. I am a corporate mindfulness meditation instructor and executive coach. Today we will drop in and practice mindfulness meditation using the breath as a present moment anchor and point of focus. Let's drop in. I invite you to be in a comfortable position. Your eyes can be closed, opened, or opened as needed. Please begin to bring your awareness to the feeling of your breath. The feeling of your breath, the sensation of your breath. Perhaps you feel your breath in the nasal area as you breathe in and out, or in the chest as it rises and comes down, or in the belly as it fills and empties. Just allow your awareness to rest in the sensation of your breath. As your awareness settles in to the feeling of your breath, you may also begin to notice that thoughts surface. Sensations in the body are felt. Perhaps emotions are bubbling up or emerging within, or you're becoming aware of sounds inside or outside the room you're in. That's all part of our meditative practice. So just acknowledge whatever surfaces and then bring your awareness back to the feeling of your breath. Within your practice, you may also notice on some days that your mind is calmer and feels spacious. Other days, maybe it feels busy and not quite as spacious, and that's okay. That's all part of our meditative practice of noticing patterns and feelings like that also. And then bringing our awareness back to the feeling of the breath. Now see if you can let go a little bit more deeply into the feeling of your breath. Into the feeling, the sensation of your breath. You're doing a great job. Stay with your breath. As a way of concluding our practice today, I ask you to take in one deep breath and hold it for a few seconds and then slowly release it. And if your eyes are closed, begin to open them. Breathing in. Great work today within your practice. Thank you for your presence and practice today. Be well and be empowered.
