Why this meditation helps
Stress often asks the mind to solve everything at once. Meditation gives the nervous system a simpler signal: this moment can be met one breath at a time.
A simple practice
Settle your body. Let the eyes soften. Take one breath in through the nose and one longer breath out. Say quietly: “I can meet this moment with steadiness.”
For the next few minutes, place attention on the breath leaving the body. When thoughts arrive, do not argue with them. Notice, soften, and return.
End by asking: What is the kindest next step?
