Transcript

Hello, Pasha Lindy here. Here's a short mindfulness practice designed to help you direct your attention away from thinking, Away from doing, Back into the body, Into the present moment. We'll be working with the breath. So first of all inviting ourselves to find a comfortable sitting or standing position. Closing your eyes or simply gazing downwards with a soft focus and then directing the spotlight of our attention to the movements of the breathing in the chest or in the abdomen. We might like to place a hand on our chest or abdomen to help us locate these movements. Following the breath very lightly with our attention, Feeling the rise and the fall, Not blocking anything out, Accepting the sounds and anything else going on around us in this space and not changing the breathing. The body is moving, And we're simply resting our attention there. And if we get distracted, Caught up in thoughts, That's fine. We simply notice, Let go and come back to attending to the movements of breathing. If you wish you can continue lightly tuning in to the movements of breathing at other times during your day. Thanks for taking time to reconnect again.
