Counting Backwards
Get comfortable and focus on the natural rhythm of your breath for a minute or two.
Begin to count backwards from 50, counting each inhale and each exhale.
When you reach 20 count only the exhales until you reach 0.
When you finally reach 0 stay present - just BE for a few moments.
You are now ready to move into an extended meditation of your choice.
*If you lose track of the counting, as soon as you realize this come back to the numbers wherever you think you fell off. Continue on from there.
**This is also a fantastic tool for falling asleep when your mind won't quiet and let you sleep. It may require a few rounds, but keep with it. It works!
