Hello,

Pasha Lindy here.

Here's a short mindfulness practice designed to help us let go of thinking and come back to the breath,

To the present moment.

So first,

Finding a comfortable sitting,

Standing or lying position,

Closing your eyes or leaving the eyes open with a soft gaze and taking a nice long deep breath.

What we call one breath is actually made up of thousands of tiny micro movements.

Let's explore this a bit more closely.

Where do you feel the movements of breathing?

In the abdomen?

In the chest?

Do you feel the movements of breathing in your shoulders?

In your throat?

In the nostrils?

Anywhere else?

And now focusing on the most obvious movement of breathing you can feel.

Resting your attention here lightly.

Can you pay attention here for the full duration of each in-breath and out-breath?

Or do you miss any moment?

And if you find yourself distracted or lost in thoughts,

That's fine.

Simply noticing and coming back.

And if you wish,

You can continue perhaps coming back to the breath at other moments during your day.

Thanks for taking the time to reconnect.
