Breathe in, breathe out. Let it all go.
During meditation, when your mind begins to wander, how do you get your mind back to the original “focus”?
During Zen Shin meditation, you count your breathing at a natural pace. So when you lose your focus, become aware of letting it go when you breathe out. One of the sayings that the leader often says is: “Breathe in, breathe out. When thoughts come up, let them come, and then let them go. Don’t engage with them. Let them come, and then let them go with your exhaling breath.”
