Practicing Relaxation
To reduce your stress and reap the other benefits of relaxation, try practicingthis simple exercise for 15 or 20 minutes each day.

Sit in a position that you can comfortably maintain for the duration ofyour meditation
Choose an object to concentrate on
Maintain a receptive attitude, let thoughts, images, and feelings pass through without trying to holdor interpret them
Following Your Breath
Drawn from the mindfulness tradition of Buddhism, this basic meditationpractice develops concentration and uses the breath to teach you how tostay present from moment to moment, no matter where you are or what youmay be doing.
Begin by finding a comfortable sitting position that you can hold for10 or 15 minutes
Allow your attention to focus either on the sensation of your breaththrough your nostrils or on the rising and fallingof your belly as you breathe
Give your full attention to your breath when you realize that your mind has wandered off and you'reengrossed in planning, thinking, or daydreaming, gently butfirmly bring your mind back to your breath
Continue this simple (but not easy!) exercise for the duration of yourmeditation

Begin by walking at your usual pace, following your breath as you walk
Coordinate your breathing with your walking
In addition to your breathing, be aware of your feet and legs as youlift and move them
Enjoy your steady, mindful walking for as long as you want
