STRESSBUSTER #1

Lets breathe!

  • Sit with your feet flat on the floor
  • Your back as straight as you are able
  • Just imagine you have a string attached to the top of your head holding your body upright
  • Now bring your attention to your breath
  • Breathe in for 3
  • Then out for 4
  • And just take a couple more breathes
  • In for 3… and out for 4
  • Just notice either the rise and fall of your stomach, or the warmth of your of the air flowing through your nose
  • Just keep breathing
  • You might find that thoughts come to your mind
  • Just notice them and bring your attention back to your breath
  • Just take a few more breaths now
  • And each time you notice your mind wandering
  • Just notice it and bring your attention back to your breath once more
  • Just take a couple more breathes now
  • And in your own time, bring your attention back in to the room

Practice this technique on a daily basis to experience the amazing stress relieving effects of mindful meditation! The more you practice, the more beneficial this will become!
