Focusing the mind: 1 Notice where you feel the rising and falling sensation of the breath most strongly. 2 Notice how each breath feels, the rhythm of it – whether it’s long or short, deep or shallow, rough or smooth. 3 Gently count the breaths as you focus on the rising and falling sensation – 1 with the rise and 2 with the fall, upwards to a count of 10. 4 Repeat this cycle between 5 and 10 times, or for as long as you have time available.
