Mindfulness practice offers a way for you to disengage from the hectic world around you by focusing your attention inward. In mindfulness practice, we learn to use our breath as a vehicle to create more inner peace. By connecting to your breath, you can disconnect from upsetting thoughts, emotions, and other stressors that disrupt inner peace.
In this meditation, the concept of inner peace is clarified by using a hurricane as a metaphor. Within the strong, turbulent winds of a hurricane is the eye, a calm, quiet, centred space. The goal is to help you to explore your inner peace by using your breath as the eye of the hurricane; the silent part of yourself that can notice difficult or challenging experiences without getting caught up and carried away by them.
A large body of research supports the use of mindfulness meditation for alleviating psychological distress and improving emotional wellbeing.
