Breathing Space

This short SOBER breathing space is designed to be practiced regularly, using this guidance initially so that it becomes a natural response to stressful situations and can be practiced with or without audio support.

This practice was originally adapted from the breathing spaces of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for use on the Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) programme, for people wanting to overcome addictive behaviours. The acronym SOBER, both reminds us of the stages of the breathing space and also that we can Respond rather than React in a sober manner.

Excellent mindfulness meditation for everybody who wants to approach mindfulness, teaching to fish rather than giving you a fish. Thank you.
