This brief mindfulness practice is for you to experience heartfulness and self-love.
It is also a way to express gratitude to yourself and connect your mind with your entire body.
You may stay seated as you are.
Put aside all items that you may have in your hands so you can fully relax for the next three minutes.
Gently position your feet flat on the floor and let your arms fall to the side or place them on your lap as you wish.
Having found a comfortable position,
You may now choose to close your eyes or leave them slightly open,
Gazing softly at a space in front of you.
Let us begin by taking three slow deep breaths.
This allows you to gently arrive in the here and the now in this present moment.
As you breathe out,
Allow yourself to experience some relaxation in your body.
Notice your frame of mind.
There is nothing special you need to do here,
Nothing you need to accomplish or achieve.
It is enough that you are here,
Present in this space and present with your body.
Gently bring your attention to the natural rhythm of your breath.
Notice any feelings that you might be experiencing now and gently bring your mind's attention to your body.
When you are ready,
Lift one of your hands and place it gently on your heart.
Turn your attention inwards,
Taking this time to observe and appreciate your heartbeat or simply the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe,
Noticing any sounds of movement as it pulses.
Do this in a gentle way.
There is no need to concentrate or strive.
If you feel your attention or your awareness drifting,
Gently come back to the idea of a light in your heart and welcome all feelings of self-love and kindness.
Let this love and kind awareness rest in your heart for the next few moments.
And when you feel ready,
Take three natural breaths natural breaths to slowly return to this room,
This space.
And when it feels right for you,
You may slowly open your eyes.
