MEDITATION✦ (^) Let your mind wander if it is inclined to do so, but
bring your focus back to the breath.
✦ (^) Allow this process to continue over and over again:
focus on the breath; when the mind wanders, come
back to the breath.
✦ (^) Do it all again.
Over time, and with practice, the mind stops wandering
as often. You’ll tune in to your own voice and let any echoes
of doubt and despair disappear.
The meditations described next in this chapter will use
some version of this breath work. You are welcome to stop
here and continue to practice the poses and breathing.
However, if you choose to move on, you will find these five
beginner-level meditations to get you started:
- Savasana meditation
- Breathing meditation
- Mantra meditation
- Mindful Body meditation
- Loving meditation
