The Breathing Anchor Meditation A powerful tool for stress reduction

This mindfulness meditation uses your breath as an anchor. It will help you to reduce stress and improve your concentration. The more often you practice this meditation the better your powers of concentration, focus and awareness will become. Our minds are full of thoughts and we often have regrets about the past or worries about the future.  Our brain has the ability to change and adapt as the result of practice. We can exercise our brain by meditating just as we exercise the muscles in our body at the gym.  This meditation provides the opportunity for you to give yourself a new change, a new moment to focus on your breath and to be in the present moment  - a powerful and simple tool for stress reduction.

This meditation can be done sitting or lying down.
