Simply Stopping

This guided mindfulness meditation from Sean Fargo, Founder of Mindfulness Exercises, will help you find a moment of peace in the middle of the storm.

Simply stopping.

Let's begin by taking a moment to allow your body to settle in a comfortable and relaxed position.

You can close your eyes or look downward to limit visual distractions.

As you soften your belly,

Drop your shoulders and relax your jaw and the muscles in your face.

Today,

We will practice simply stopping.

Begin by taking a full breath in and a long breath out.

Notice what it's like to just stop,

To simply be still and present in the moment.

You might notice thoughts or bodily sensations,

Sounds,

Just noticing what it's like to be alive in just this moment.

You have to focus your time by simply you find your mind somewhere else,

Being present and alert.

Inviting a sense of simply being here now.

Let's continue practicing like this for a little while.
