Transcript

Welcome to the Mindful Minute. Close your eyes. Or look down. Whichever feels comfortable for you. And gently bring your attention to your breath. You don't have to change it. Just notice it. Notice how the body makes space for the air coming in. And then releases. If thoughts enter. Acknowledge them, And bring your mind back to the breath. Briefly scan your body, Starting at your toes, Moving up. Noticing any other sensations. You don't have to change them. Just notice how your body is feeling right now. And then gently bring your attention back. To the breath. Then to what you can hear. When you feel ready. Open your eyes, Notice what you can see, And maybe do a stretch to conclude the exercise.
