3-Step Breathing Space (MBSR / MBCT)

This is a short meditation and forms the link between the longer formal mindfulness meditations and the application of the acquired mindfulness skills in daily life. The exercise takes us through three different phases, each of which takes about a minute: our focus goes from broad, to narrow, to wide again.

You can use this meditation to re-focus yourself between appointments, get grounded before a difficult conversation or unplug from a stress reaction.
