Using a breathing meditation technique is probably the easiest meditation technique that you can learn. You're breathing at this moment, so all you need to learn is how to notice and focus on your breathing.

Start your breathing meditation in a quiet (maybe even tranquil) place. Do your best to make sure you won't be disturbed. If you're interrupted whilst you are learning a new technique it's possible you'll be a bit frustrated.

Maybe an unused room in your home. There may be a park or enclosed garden close to your home or where you work. Anywhere that's reasonably quiet. Over time, when you start to get comfortable with using breathing meditation, you'll discover that the "requirement" for a quiet place isn't needed. With practice, you will find you can relax absolutely anywhere, whenever you want.

You can practice breathing meditation sitting or standing. Unless the particular breathing meditation you're using says differently, it is your choice.

Initially, just notice each breath in and each breath out. Are your breaths shallow, regular or really deep?

Next, start to focus on your breathing. Breathe in. Now. Begin to fill your lungs with air. If you're comfortable doing so, hold the air in your lungs for a second or two. Finally, breathe out again. Emptying your lungs of as much air as you feel OK doing.

Repeat the process five or more times. You'll likely find that your breathing gets deeper as you do this. There's a good chance you'll start to feel more relaxed.

Because it's quick and easy, you'll soon be adding the simple technique of breathing meditation to your regular day to day activities. And if you want it to be, it's completely "invisible" to those around you. Because breathing is such a natural activity, you can use a breathing meditation near enough anywhere.

Congratulations! You’ve just performed your first breathing meditation..
