Mindfulness For Beginners

A gentle beginner-friendly mindfulness meditation designed to help you slow down, focus on the present moment, and build calm awareness. Simple breathing and movement guidance with gentle encouragement will help you to relax, reduce stress, and create a sense of balance in just a few minutes. This audio was recorded outside during a gentle rainstorm. Along with my voice, you will hear the sounds of rain, wind, and birdsong as you practice these new grounding skills.

Notice the birdsong and the sound of the rain. Let go. Release. Relax. Take a moment to intentionally still. Of your body. Just one last little wiggle to make sure that you're comfortable. Exhale.
