A 5-Minute Mindful Breathing Practice to Restore Your Attention

1a. Breathing Meditation

Death is always a difficult subject for us to face, but by ignoring it, it will not go away. In this meditation Lama Yeshe gently invites you to face up to death. We cannot truly live our lives until we have dealt with death, because we will always have the fear of death in our minds. Please do not attempt this meditation if your are feeling anxious, fearful, depressed or have any other kind of emotional problems.

Mindfulness of Thinking

What is it that makes us emotionally suffer the most? Often, it is our thoughts. We tend to believe every thought and chase after each and every one. This causes anxiety, stress, and even obsessive behavior. 

This guided practice helps you to see thoughts are just thoughts and teaches you how to let them rise and fall on their own.

Allowing Your Thoughts To Flow

4. Body Sensation Meditation

Forgiveness doesn’t mean being passive or not taking action. It doesn’t mean standing down when we need to protect ourselves or someone else from harm. You practice forgiveness for your own sake, so you are not locked in bitterness, sadness and resentment. These just harden your emotions, narrow your options in responding to life, cloud your judgment and shift your attention from those who matter to you to those whom you dislike. This guided meditation helps you to give forgiveness to yourself and others.

Finding Forgiveness

Grief is the acute pain that accompanies loss. It is deep, because it is a reflection of what you love, and it can feel all-encompassing. Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, both human and animal. In this meditation you bring the person you are grieving over into your mind and talk to them and reflect on the good times you have spent together. It allows you a safe place to face your emotions.

Facing Grief And Loss

Emotions are not our enemy and we don't have to try and run away from them or fight them. This meditation will help you work your way through your emotions in a mindful way. A way that is going to help you let go and move on.
