CalmingBreath Meditation: Deconstructing Stress show

Summary: In this guided meditation you will learn how to use the moment by moment experience of your mind as the object of meditation. This practice brings together the previous three phenomena of mental talk, mental images and emotional body sensations. We allow the attention to broadly float between these three objects, noting their arising and passing away. When developed, this broad attention to mental objects can provide deep, penetrating insight into the impermenance of all mental phenomena. The net benefit of which is a reduction in stress, and an increase in happiness. Practice Note You should practice this technique for 20mins each day for at least *one week*. After that, you may choose to continue or to go back to a single focus option. You may choose to change about from time to time depending on what is going on in your life and what you need at the time.
