The 3 Minute Breathing Space

The 3 Minute Breathing Space is an opportunity to step out of the daily rush, to step back for a short 3 minutes, to bring yourself back to a greater awareness of this present moment, and turn your attention to how you are right now, to your breath, and finally to rest in expanded awareness.

Transcript

The three minute breathing space.

We're stepping back from whatever we're doing just for a short three minutes.

Bring your awareness internally now for a moment,

Just reflecting on how you are right now at this moment.

What are your thoughts?

What are your feelings?

Are there sensations in the body that you can tune into?

Perhaps your feet on the floor,

Perhaps your sit bones on the chair.

Just taking a moment to tune in to how we are right now.

Now gathering our attention to the breath,

Attending to the in breath from the start to the finish.

Attending to the out breath.

Noticing with some detail the whole of the in breath and the whole of the out breath.

Follow the breath all the way in and all the way out.

Now expanding the field of your awareness around the breath so that you include the whole of your body.

Sensations in the body,

Your posture,

Your facial expression.

Sensing in to the whole body.

Now with this expanded awareness,

Gently transitioning back to whatever activity you're in and as best we can bringing this awareness and attention back in to our lives.
