Day 6:
Counting Breath

1. Sit in an alert and relaxed posture, grounded in your chair or on the floor. Close your eyes.

2. Take 3 - 5 mindful breathes.

3. On your next inhale, count one to yourself, exhale to a count of one .

4. The next time you inhale, count two to yourself, exhale to a count of two.

5. Continue breathing in this way until you reach a count of five for your inhale and exhale.

6. If your mind wanders or you lose count, bring your attention back to your breath and start over.
