Month of May Meditating

I don't have specific apps or anything but I will look them up! I am doing the mindful meditation that I just took a class on , where you focus being aware in the moment. What I do a lot is sit in silence & focus on my breathing. When my mind wanders I recognize my thoughts but then go back to focusing on breathing. I find it sometimes hard to stay awake with my eyes closed so I'll stare about two feet in front of me, or when I lay down I focus on the ceiling. You make be different. Make sure to find a position that is comfortable, have a straight posture too! Also as beginners start off with a smaller time. Set a timer on your phone or watch whatever you have, so you don't be thinking of the time . You can increase your time as you go. Another thing to take into mind is your mind WILL wander. Don't make judgements because you might be feeling like you can't do it. That's normal & it doesn't just happen. Just accept the thoughts & go back to focusing on what's in the moment, your breathe. I hope that gives you some kind of start. You can try yoga or try walking meditation. Walking meditation you take very slow, settle steps & pay attention to how your foot feels as it touches the ground. Make a walking path about 4-8 feet . As you walk one way, pause & turn slowly as you are walking, & continue the other way. When you get back to the other side pause & keep repeating that for however long you set your timer for.! Let me know your thoughts & how it goes if you choose to start!
