About this listen
Take a moment and find a comfortable position. Whether you're sitting, standing, or lying down, allow your body to settle like a leaf gently coming to rest on still water. Close your eyes if that feels comfortable, or simply soften your gaze.
Begin by taking three deep, intentional breaths. Imagine each breath is like a wave washing through your body - the inhale rising, full of possibility, the exhale releasing, letting go of anything that doesn't serve you right now. Feel the natural rhythm of your breath, no force, no struggle - just pure, simple presence.
Now, bring your attention to the sensation of breathing. Notice where you feel the breath most clearly - perhaps at the tip of your nostrils, the rise and fall of your chest, or the gentle movement in your belly. This is your anchor, your home base. When your mind wanders - and it will, that's completely normal - simply notice, and return to the breath with kindness.
I want you to imagine your breath as a compassionate friend. Each inhale brings fresh energy, nourishment, and calm. Each exhale is an opportunity to release tension, to soften, to let go. Your breath knows exactly what you need in this moment. It doesn't try too hard; it simply flows.
As thoughts arise - and they will - see if you can watch them like clouds passing across the sky. You don't need to chase them or push them away. Just observe. Breathe. Return. This is the practice of mindfulness - a gentle coming home to yourself, again and again.
In these final moments, take a deep breath and recognize the gift you've given yourself. This moment of pause, of presence, is a powerful act of self-care. You can carry this sense of calm with you, returning to your breath whenever you need a moment of peace.
Thank you for sharing this practice with me today. If this resonated with you, please subscribe to Mindful Moments. Your breath is always waiting, always ready to support you, exactly as you are. Breathe well, dear friend.
