I don’t think it matters why you meditate.

Meditation helps me with stress too. And use it for other less than elevated reasons too.

What technique do you like?

I am not sure what exactly the technique is called, I just followed a guide. You close your eyes and focus entirely on the flow of air entering and leaving your body. Just concentrating on breathing.

Forgive me, I am pretty new to all this. I picked up meditation around August of last year.

I have done a bit of “concentrating on breathing” meditation.

There’s a lot to breathing. The sound of it. The thought of it (if I’m counting breaths). The feeling of it, in my belly, throat and nose…

I find all those things to be too much to concentrate on. So I concentrate on just one of those things. I concentrate on the feeling of breath in the tip of my nose.

It felt super silly the first time too. I’m glad I started doing this.
