Welcome to this meditation for mindfulness.

Mindfulness can be practiced at any time.

Today I will show you a few techniques and how to do so.

First,

Close your eyes and become mindful of your breath.

Notice the rhythm of your breath.

Can you notice the temperature of the air passing through the nose?

Bring awareness to the chest rising and falling with the breath.

Take a deep breath in and notice how much you can expand your lungs.

And as you breathe out,

Relax.

Now let's become mindful of our bodies by noticing our hands resting by our sides.

And now notice your feet.

How do your feet feel right now?

Are they cool or warm?

Now bring your awareness to the top of your head,

Noticing any sensations you are having here.

Become mindful of the point of contact your body is making with the surface below.

Good.

Now let's draw our awareness to our sense of hearing.

What sounds can you hear around you?

Perhaps you are aware of the beautiful background music.

Are there any other sounds that you can tune into?

Notice how the sounds are passing through the ears,

Coming in an endless rhythm.

Now let's become mindful of your sense of smell.

Take a deep breath in through the nose and notice any fragrances in the air.

Can you identify the qualities of the smells around?

Do you have a favorite fragrance?

If so,

Can you imagine the aroma now?

Now draw your focus to the mouth.

Can you sense the flavor of what you last ate?

Perhaps you can even remember how it tasted.

What is your favorite food?

Can you taste it just by imagining it?

Good.

You have become mindful of all the senses.

Breathe in deeply now and open your eyes.
