Week 3: Continue the same as in weeks 1 and 2. This week, begin to observe your breath. You don’t need to alter breathing in any way. Just observe your inhalation and your exhalation. Let this observation take precedence over the observation of your thoughts. Your thoughts may persist, but focus your attention on your breath.
In this observation of your breath, all else recedes. The breath, the now, the simplicity of the moment become effortless. Continue this focus for a few minutes, five times this week.
