Hello,

Pashalindi here.

Here's a short mindfulness practice designed to help us let go of thoughts and pay attention to our posture.

Most of all,

It's about listening to your body,

So feel free to adapt any of these instructions to suit your needs.

So first,

Finding a comfortable sitting position.

Closing your eyes or leaving your eyes open with a soft focus.

Taking a nice long deep breath.

Now checking in with your feet.

Are they placed comfortably?

Taking a moment to adjust their position.

Maybe leaving them flat on the floor and parallel.

And now checking in with your sitting bones.

Is your weight centered?

Or is it more to the left or to the right?

Maybe taking a moment to adjust so you're comfortable.

And as we go,

If anything feels uncomfortable,

Notice the discomfort and see if you can perhaps stay with it for one more breath before moving.

And what about the spine?

Is there a sense of lifting up through the spine while respecting its natural curves?

Now checking in with the shoulders.

Are they evenly spread and relaxed?

Is there a sense of openness across the chest?

Moving onto your hands.

Are they resting comfortably somewhere and well supported?

What about your neck?

Is the head centered or leaning a little more to the left or to the right?

Angled downward slightly?

And resting here for a few moments,

Breathing.

If you wish,

You can continue perhaps tuning into the posture like this at other moments during the day.

Thanks for taking time to reconnect.
