Hello, Pasha Lindy here. Here's a short mindfulness practice designed to help us let go of thinking and really enjoy the present moment. First, Finding a comfortable sitting, Standing, Or lying position. Closing your eyes or leaving your eyes open with a soft gaze and taking a few nice long deep breaths. Exhaling fully on the out-breath and then allowing the breath to settle into its own natural rhythm. Just allowing the body to breathe itself and lightly resting our attention on each in-breath and out-breath. Relaxing into feeling these sensations, Enjoying the movements of breathing. The rising, The falling, Enjoying breathing just in a light gentle way. No need to breathe intensely or change the breathing. And when we get lost in thoughts, This is totally normal and we can't control when the mind wanders or where it wanders off to or for how long. At some point, We'll wake up, We can breathe out, Let go and relax again into enjoying the experience of breathing. If we sit worrying that the mind will wander, We'll miss the ease, Presence and connection that are available to us right now, Just by being connected to the experience of the body breathing. Let's continue for a few more moments in silence. So really enjoying breathing and when we get lost in thoughts, No worries, We wake up, We relax again, Coming back to the experience of breathing. And if you wish, You can continue just taking time throughout your day to notice the breathing and enjoy it. Thanks for taking time to reconnect.
