Meditation and mindfulness do not have a visual model. Count your breaths is abstract and confusing. What specifically is required for me to be meditating? That may render a 100 answers all different. Think this is confusing. This is light years away from the simplicity of the breathing track.
*
Complex, confusing therapies stagnate the mind and dilute any healing plan. Anything used as a goal for future change of an existing habit, is a waste of energy. Childhood trauma resists change and diluted effort slams against a concrete wall of reinforced steel.
*
This visual model gives birth to a symbol identified with awareness and healing. Every breath, remember we are free and open to let things, situations and people exist on their own. We can be present, free of worry and thought, free to explore deeper and freer than ever.
*
Place the breathing track on your dash, on your computer, on your refrigerator, in your head and remember it means to be present and leave thought alone to fade. Simple small concrete effort like this creates major change. Words can not describe the power right in front of us. Learn to focus on the breath and explore your inner world.

If I were rich, I would have magnets, key chains, t-shirts and an actual berthing track and a super deluxe model that has LED moving lights.
When we se or think of our breath or the model it reminds us to be present.
Little specific things like this heal more thn anything else. Get to know the inner world, get to be here and now more often.
Even after we heal, staying present serves us well. lern this skill and make it habit, second nature.
