One Minute Hand On Heart

This is a very simple, accessible practice ~ one that everyone can do every day. It taps into the wisdom of our breath and the way that it gives us an experience of self-compassion every moment of our life.

Transcript

This is the everyday hand on heart meditation.

To begin,

Please find a comfortable upright seated position.

And then let your eyes close either partially or fully.

Putting a hand on your heart.

And then breathing in calming quieting energy.

And breathing out whatever wants to be released.

Breathing in what you need.

And breathing out what you don't need.

Breathing in calming quieting energy.

Breathing out whatever wants to be released.

Breathing in calming quieting energy.

And breathing out whatever wants to be released.

And now gently pressing your hand to your chest,

Offering a spirit of gratitude for this time of self-kindness.

And then letting your hand return to your lap.

Noticing how you feel in your body.

And as best you can just allowing yourself to feel however you feel and to be exactly the way that you are.

And then as you feel ready,

Gently opening your eyes.

So very simple very calming and a beautiful practise thank you

I really needed this this morning. I focused on breathing in calm energy, and releasing anger and resentment. I will remind myself of this throughout the day.

Nice reminder we can use any time during the day, hand on heart. Thanks
