Welcome to the Bodhi Soul Guided Meditation Sessions and the Mindful Moment Series.
This Mindful Moment on-the-go meditation is part of a series for those who are either short on time or just feeling too overwhelmed to commit to a longer practice.
These short meditations provide a way for you to pause and engage your body's relaxation response.
In turn,
This can help to lower stress and anxiety levels and lead to a more calm and balanced view.
This meditation can be practiced while you are on the go during your day,
Whether at your desk,
In line at a shop,
Or out for a walk.
This is a quick pause and reset to bring you back to a sense of calm.
Let's begin by making sure you are in a safe environment to be focusing your awareness on your breath and away from the task at hand.
Start by either softening your gaze or gently closing your eyes.
Take a few deep inhalations in through your nose and exhalations out with a sigh.
Again,
Inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling out with a sigh.
Keeping your awareness on your breath,
Begin to inhale to the count of 4 and exhale to the count of 6.
This longer exhalation activates the parasympathetic nervous system,
Which promotes relaxation and calm.
Again,
Inhale to the count of 4 and exhale to the count of 6.
To finish,
Bring your attention back to your surroundings and gently open your eyes if they were closed.
Thank you for joining me for this mindful moment.
Have a great rest of your day.
Namaste.
