Mindfulness meditation involves bringing attention to the breath from "summary" of Full Catastrophe Living (Revised Edition) by Jon Kabat-Zinn
When we talk about mindfulness meditation, we are talking about bringing our attention to the present moment, to what is happening right here and now. One of the most common ways to do this is by focusing on the breath. The breath is always with us, always happening in the present moment, so it can be a powerful anchor for our attention. When we bring our attention to the breath, we are not trying to control it or change it in any way. We are simply observing it, noticing the sensations of the breath as it moves in and out of the body. This can help us to become more aware of our thoughts and feelings, and to develop a greater sense of calm and clarity. Focusing on the breath can also help us to cultivate a sense of mindfulness in our everyday lives. By practicing bringing our attention back to the breath when it wanders, we can learn to bring the same kind of focused awareness to other activities, such as eating, walking, or talking to others. In this way, mindfulness meditation can help us to develop a greater sense of presence and peace in our lives. It can help us to become more grounded and centered, even in the midst of difficult or stressful situations. By cultivating this kind of awareness and attention, we can learn to respond to life's challenges with greater wisdom and compassion.
