This is a two-minute practice that allows you to take a short break from your activities. Through the awareness of thoughts and the gentle practice of inner balance, a progressive settling of the mind and body occurs. Inner awareness arises from less effort, creating a natural flow and a sense of ease and peace.

Transcript

Let us now begin to meditate by taking our attention to our breath.

This is a two minute meditation,

Relaxing.

Taking a short breath from your activities.

Find an area you will not be disturbed for just two minutes.

Make yourself comfortable with your back supported and your jaw and neck relaxed.

Your feet resting firmly on the floor.

Check these areas and release any tension.

Now gently close your eyes and place your hands comfortably on your lap.

Palms upwards.

Become aware of the breath.

Just breathing normally for a moment.

In and out through your nostrils.

You can slow your breathing even further by counting.

Breathing in for the count of four.

Holding for the count of three.

Breathing out for the count of five.
