mindfulness meditation techniques

Mindfulness meditation involves paying intentional, non-judgmental attention to the present moment. To practice, find a quiet space, sit comfortably, and focus on your breath, noticing each inhale and exhale. When your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to your breath or bodily sensations. This cultivates awareness of thoughts, feelings, and physical states without reacting to them. Regular practice helps improve concentration, reduce stress, and foster a sense of calm by training your mind to stay anchored in the now rather than being caught up in past or future concerns.
