Through breath counting, you are maintaining present-moment awareness of the physical experience of the breath, but your mind is busy with counting the breaths. This is a great entry point into meditation or a great way to practice if other forms don’t seem to work for you.
Breath counting is exactly what it sounds like — counting your breaths. I love this type of practice personally because it can be quick and gives me real-time feedback on how much focus/concentration I have in a given moment. By seeing how many breaths you can count before losing track, you can determine how much progress you are making or even use it to assess your concentration in a given moment.
So, give this one a try and let us know how it goes in the comments!
