The
Power of Conscious Breathing
By Shelby Collinge
I have studied
the human mind and psyche for over a decade now and this one technique
I find is the most important by far. Do you consciously breathe throughout
your day? Do you even know how to consciously breathe? I
define conscious breathing as ‘a deliberate deep breathing inhale,
then a short pause followed by a powerful, cleansing exhale, repeated
several times.’There
is a power that I cannot explain simply in consciously breathing.
The fact that this technique is free, can be done anywhere, by anyone
for as long as necessary are just some of the benefits..

Single
Breath Meditation
By
Rebbie Straubing
There
are as many instants of now in a minute as there are in an hour.
The now is infinite no matter how long you linger there. Sometimes,
when we sit to meditate for 20 minutes or longer, big segments of
that time slot lose their immediacy. We drift into default thinking
and ride the shallow turbulence of our mental activity. We miss
the depth of the moment completely.By
narrowing the time of your meditation session to one breath, you
send a message to your consciousness. "This is your only chance.
Pay attention now or you'll miss it!" In the beginning, you may
be amazed at how much your mind can wander even in the space of
one breath. Don't worry about that. It's natural.

Breathing For Meditation
By Robert Morger
Breathing
is the MOST important part of meditation and Kundalini Awakening.
It’s the foundation of all the exercises and skills that come after,
so taking the time to learn it now will make things much easier.
From our birth until death we breathe more or less continually,
yet for the most part we do it without any awareness of our breath
and its effects on us, and believe it or not most people in the
western world do it wrong! Breathe in through your nose and draw
your breath down into the area just below your navel, allowing your
stomach to expand as you breathe (Baby Breath) and filling your
lungs entirely with each breath before exhaling through your nose.

Practical Meditation Tips
- Using the Breath
By Shane Magee
Controlling
the rhythm and flow of the breath is probably the most common technique
used by those beginning meditation. Breathing is something we do
unconsciously all the time; in consciously focusing on the breath,
we can then extend that awareness to our thoughts and the outside
world. Breath is also intimately connected with emotion, and slow
and steady breathing will help to calm our emotional being and help
us be more calm and tranquil.You don't have to try all the techniques
below in one sitting - it's always good to start with the first
one, and then you can focus on one or two of the others, changing
them around from meditation to meditation to keep a sense of newness
in your practice.-

Breathing meditation techniques are
amongst the simplest meditation techniques we can learn. After all,
you already know how to breathe! So learning some breathing meditations
qualifies as learning easy meditation techniques. Start by finding

start to pay attention to your breathing. It’s something we take
for granted, yet breathing gives us vital oxygen and learning some
