Breathing Anchor Meditation

Meditation can be simple and does not require any special equipment. This meditation demonstrates the basic technique and takes just eight minutes. It will leave you profoundly relaxed. The meditation can take 10-20 seconds before it begins to play.

Three Minute Breathing Space

This is a mini-meditation that can put you back in control of your life when it starts to slip between your fingers. It acts as a bridge between the longer, formal meditations detailed in our book Mindfulness for Health and the demands of everyday life.
