A ten-minute guided practice for developing greater steadiness, awareness, and familiarity with returning.
This meditation builds on the basic movement of mindfulness: settling into the body, bringing attention to the breath, noticing when the mind wanders, and returning without judgment.
With a little more time than the five-minute practice, you have space to notice more of what actually happens when you sit still. Thoughts arise. Sensations change. Attention drifts. Reactions appear.
None of that means the meditation has gone wrong.
The practice is learning to recognize what is happening without immediately becoming lost in it—and then returning to the breath and the present moment.
You can use this meditation as a regular daily practice or whenever you want enough time to settle more fully into awareness without committing to a longer sitting.
This meditation is included in my Free 10-Day Beginner Mindfulness Meditation Course, where the practices gradually develop from one minute to ten minutes.
Duration: 10 minutes
