Two Minutes Of Stillness

Busy day? Busy week? Busy month? Take just two minutes to yourself, allowing a bit of stillness to come back into your life and slow down the ever increasing pace of the world. This practice can be done seated, standing, or lying down.
No ending bell.

Taking a moment. To play your eyes, Focus on some fixed point. And allow the gaze to soften. Wherever you are. Feeling the ground at your feet supporting you. If you're sitting, Feeling where your body meets the ground or the chair that is supporting you. Taking a deep inhale and allow the exhale to be a sigh. Releasing tension in the shoulders as you do so. Letting the hands rest in the lap. Or hang loosely by your side. Wiggling the fingers to release tension. And then finding stillness. Taking a few breaths in this space. Not focusing on any one point. Allowing your body to remain still. While giving your attention space to wander. To the breath. The sensations in your body. To the connection between you and the ground. To any passing thoughts. To the spaciousness that is in the stillness. With your attention not staying with any one thing for too long. Whenever you are ready. Bringing gentle conscious movement to the body. Bringing your gaze back into focus and returning to your day.
