Connecting Mind, Body, and Breath
By Master Wasentha Young

Create an atmosphere of silence, fresh air, turn off your phone, and give yourself about five to ten minutes for this meditation.  You can do this meditation from a standing or seated position.

If you are sitting, comfortably separate and relax your feet on the floor and sit upright in your chair.  If you are standing, separate your feet about shoulder or hip width apart; relax your feet on the ground, soften your knees and hips, and with your back straight (not stiff) gently lift your head top.

Overlap your hands just below your navel; about one inch.  If you like you can close your eyes.  Breathe. Like a thread, use your mind to guide your awareness down to the placement of your hands are on your body. Breathe.  Allow your awareness to remain connected to that area.  If your mind drifts, or you begin to think, your will notice that your awareness has also shifted away from your hands-to-body.  This is normal and will happen from time to time.  Just take a breath and begin again. 

When you are comfortable with this process, softly invite your breath to also touch this place of awareness.  When you inhale it will be much like the torso is a vessel and the breath water that fills the vessel from the bottom, up.  As you exhale, just allow the breath to leave the body without changing the awareness of hands-to-body.  Enjoy the moments when your mind/awareness, body, and breath come together.

This meditation style can help you to feel calm, relaxed, and a sense of inner awareness.
