A Basic Meditation to Strengthen Neural Connections

"Rewire your brain so that mindfulness and compassion are the automatic response to stress."

This is Christopher's meditation technique...

• First, bring your awareness to an anchor: sensations or movement in your body, the breath, ambient sounds, counting, or even an image you found powerful or calming. Anything can be the anchor for your attention. Just invite your mind to rest there.
• Pretty soon, you will notice your mind begin to wander. That is completely normal. Each time you notice it wandering, notice where it goes and then gently guide your awareness back to your anchor.

It is simple and real. Anything can be your anchor. Brilliant.
