Exercise: Personal Qualities (With Music) & Mini Meditation

This is a guided mindfulness practise by Reuben at Mindful Creation. The focus here starts with an exercise on reflecting upon a list of personal qualities. You may like to use a pen and paper for this first phase. It then moves on to a meditation for counting the sensations upon your body so as to practise the simple art of shifting from head to body, and gently repeating this process. Finally, you have the choice to introduce your breathing at the same time as connecting to your body.

I have discovered another track of yourself that is a gem.
It was interesting listening to your rendition of the qualities and how I felt slightly unsettled with aspects of myself that don’t come so easily to me. It was good to apply the words to recent events. When I left him Suffolk yesterday, my son gave me the biggest, longest hug and I felt real trust and openness. I brought back lovely bread for a neighbour who is experiencing a bad time. I was being considerate, kind and friendly. I don’t often acknowledge positive qualities in myself.
I lost myself in your moment of ‘now’, nothing disturbed it.
I had to listen to this track three times as I fell asleep during the first two! At least I still have my sense of humour!
Thanks Reuben 🙏

Very nice qualities to hear, not so nice when I can’t relate to many of them anymore… I hear ‘Patient’ ‘Courage’ ‘Resilient’ and I think to myself, Well yeah, but what’s the alternative? Is it normal to slip back into some unhelpful thinking from time to time? Still, it’s a great track Reuben, I was able to to connect to my body while breathing. I should listen more often ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ . I’ll see you later, you won’t see me, but you will the second week of March.

I liked it very much! I really liked the words and how they resonated but I would have liked less talking at the quiet part so I could centre on my breath/sensation without interruption. Thanks very much for a great new exercise on mindfulness!

Thank you
