This is a portable practice you can do anywhere whenever you need a quick practice to focus the mind.

Welcome to this quick effective personal practice of mine. I like to call the perfect 10. The goal for this practice is to take 10 deep breaths without getting distracted. You will notice the mind jumping to a to-do list or maybe a future activity or the past. Your job is to notice that and bring the mind back and when you notice distraction just begin the counting again. We'll begin and end with the bell. So sitting up tall, Dropping the shoulders, Relaxing the teeth. Bring all of your awareness to the breath coming in through your nose. You may have time to try for a few cycles. Thank you for practicing. I hope you have a perfect day.

Nice prompt to return to the simple (yet so hard) practice of just sitting and being present to your own breathing.

Ashley really knows how to get us where we need to be so we can relax, regroup and go forward in strength. Her voice is so soothing. You lose all tension when you hear it. Thank you for sharing.

Great mindfulness practice to focus and calm the mind! Thank you!
