Follow The Breath - Zen Meditation 3

Hello and welcome to this Zen Following The Breath Meditation. This is the third meditation of four as part of a zen meditation & mindfulness 8-week course. You will do this meditation each day between week four and week six. This meditation is similar to the second meditation. Rather than counting the breath this time, we are simply following and observing the breath. Bringing our awareness to the belly rising and falling as we inhale and exhale. This seems very basic, but that is what it's all about. Shutting out all the chaotic thoughts of the mind and finding stillness. It's believed the Buddha became enlightened from this very meditation.
