Calm Your Mind In 5 Minutes

Need a quick reset? This short meditation invites you to pause, slow down and come into the present for a few minutes, lying on your back or sitting with ease. You breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, soften your shoulders, jaw and neck, rest one hand on your belly and one over your heart, and let your thoughts float by like clouds while your mind settles like soft sand in clear water. It closes with a few quiet moments of silence, a wiggle of the fingers and toes and a blink of the eyes open.
