Three minute breathing space.
Come into sit.
The position which is comfortable.
Or standing tall.
And really becoming aware of the contact of the feet on the ground.
And the first stage of the three minute breathing space is to become really aware of any thoughts or feelings which are present right now.
So just being open to any thoughts that may be arising in the mind or any feelings.
Just being open to these.
This stage is just about bringing an awareness to what is already here.
So there may be a feeling of tightness.
Or a feeling of irritation.
Just becoming aware of whatever feelings and thoughts are present right now.
See if you can really turn towards these.
And the second stage of the three minute breathing space is to become really connected with the inhale and exhale.
So becoming aware of the breath.
So really noticing how the chest inhales and exhales.
And just remembering that if the mind wanders to different thoughts and feelings.
That's okay.
Just bring your attention back to the breath.
Whether it be feeling of the breath in your tummy or perhaps at the tip of your nose.
And now moving to the final stage of the breathing three minute breathing space.
And that's just becoming aware of the body as a whole.
So the contact of the feet on the floor.
Becoming aware of the contact of the body against any clothes you may be wearing.
Or any services that you may be in contact with.
So if you are sitting just becoming aware of the contact of the body against the chair.
The floor.
Just becoming really aware of the body as a whole.
And when it feels comfortable just open your eyes if you had those clothes.
And becoming aware of your surroundings.
And just acknowledging the decision you made to take a moment to replenish yourself.
To take care of yourself.
And as best as you can bring in this new found sense of openness and awareness to the next parts of your day.
