One of the more focus-y ways I like is breath counting, where you count seven breaths and repeat for several minutes (they should be normal breaths, not deep breaths), it&#39;s harder than it sounds! Another way I like is to simply be somewhere quiet, close my eyes, and space out, letting thoughts come and go without focusing on anything.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tasfia V.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">for me  meditation is all about breathing in and breathing out. it&#39;s the easiest way to meditate. simply by  calming your mind<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elizabeth P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">There isn\u2019t really a correct way, because everyone\u2019s mind is different. The idea is to focus on breathing in and out, but anytime your mind starts to wander, notice that it did that, and focus on the breath again. This can happen many times or a few times during a session, and each session will be different. It takes practice. For me I achieve a state that is somewhere between awake and asleep, super calm and relaxed. When I get really relaxed, it can be hard for me to come back to full awareness.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nelson A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Take time out to find a quiet spot where you are least likely to he disturbed. Get yourself comfortable and take long deep breaths and focus on nothing but that for a few minutes. Gradually increase the length of time you spend on this as tour discipline increases. Carry a pen and paper because you may get ideas. Jot them down so tou dont focus on them until you are done<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marie S.
