Transcript

Welcome to your mindful moment.

Please find a sitting position that allows you to be alert but relaxed.

Today I'll guide you through an exercise for senses.

Take a deep breath and leaving the eyes open,

Notice five things you can see.

You can say them out loud or silently in your head.

With each of the five sights,

Pause to take them in completely.

Now notice four things you can feel in the body.

Know them out loud or in your head and rest your attention with each sensation for a few deep breaths.

Next,

Name three things you can hear.

Try to choose three different sounds,

Not the same noise three times.

Now note two things you can smell.

Finally,

Find one thing you can taste.

It may be the leftover taste of a meal,

Your toothpaste,

Or just your breath.

Let's finish this practice now by taking a full breath in and a long breath out.
