3-Minute Breathing Space For Life's Chaos

The 3-minute Breathing Space is a simple and effective mindfulness practice, designed with a practical focus and flexibility in mind.

It consists of 3 equal parts:
1. Taking an inventory of present moment physical sensations, emotions and thoughts.
2. Narrowing the attention to focus on the breath.
3. Expanding the breath to include a sense of the entire body & any sensations that are present.

The 3-minute Breathing Space can be adapted to be done in 30 seconds or 30 minutes! All you need is those 3 parts in more or less equal duration.

The practice was originally designed for the 8-week MBCT program (Segal, Williams, and Teasdale (2002)).
