3 Minute Breathing Space

The 3 Minute Breathing Space is a brief mindfulness practice and it has three simple steps. Awareness of your thoughts, feelings and body sensations. Focusing attention on your breathing. Broadening awareness to your whole body. It can be used as a quick rest to reduce stress, interrupt overthinking, and bring you back to the present moment.

Transcript

The three-minute breathing space. You can do this meditation in any posture. Sitting down, Lying down or standing. Stopping what you are doing and bringing your awareness into the present moment. Awareness of your body, Sounds, Thoughts, Emotion and your breath. Feeling it in the body, One moment at a time. I invite you to be open to whatever you're experiencing with non-judgmental awareness. Notice how everything comes and everything goes, Moment to moment. Allow your awareness to rest on the breath as it's felt deep in the belly. Feeling the belly expanding on the inhale and releasing on the exhale. Being aware of the breath in the back of the body as well as the front of the body. If you feel your mind is wandering, Every time you notice, Just come back to the breath and the body. See if you can let the weight of the body settle down on the ground beneath you. Now gradually expanding your awareness again. Noticing sounds, The world around you, Thoughts, Feelings and emotions. See if you can maintain the quality of breath-based and body-based present moment awareness as you re-engage with the activities of your day.
