Hi everyone. Thank you so much for joining me for this mindful pause session. It's a mindful meditation practice and the purpose of mindfulness. Is to train the mind to be in the present moment. Letting anything that's happening within us and externally just to be. Just as they are. It could be feelings, Thoughts or emotions. Noise, Any sounds around us And we just become the observer. So we observe. Whatever is happening. Without touching ourselves. Or trying to push things away. And we remain present. In a non-judgmental way. So that's what we are going to practice today. I invite you to make yourself comfortable. Either sitting on a cushion, Pillow, Rolled up towel if you are sitting on the floor. It will help you elevate the hair. So the spine is nice and straight. The energy can freely flow. Music chill, Relax. Comfortable, But at the same time, Alert as well. So mindfulness meditation can help us cultivate a calmer and clearer mind. So we will have clarity of mind. Which helps us to focus Reduce stress and also to enable personal growth. So that We can focus on what we need to focus on. And respond to things that need our attention. Rather than react to everything that's happening within us and around us. So let's start our practice by taking a deep breath in through the nose. In the slow, Exhale out. Allowing the external world to just gently fade away This is your time to simply be This is your practice. For training the mind to remain in the present moment. We start by floating our hands up to the sky, Breathe in and you can look up if you wish. And exhale, Hands to the ground. And again breathe in, Hands to the sky, You may even look up. And exhale, Hands to the ground. One more time, Hands to the sky, Palms to touch, Breathe in. And slowly bringing the palms to the heart center I invite you to make an intention for this practice. Maybe to be present. And embrace this practice with kindness. And open that. Let's place our hands to our knees or in the lap. Are you ready? You may gently close down the eyes or soften the gaze. You're noticing any sounds around you. And just let them be. As they are. Allow them to be In the same space that we are. Bringing the awareness to the body. And just gently. . . Feeling the weight of the hands resting in your lap. Shoulders dropping away from the ears We feel the spine lengthen naturally. Your body and mind settles into stillness. Take a gentle breath in. And a slow exhale out. Allowing the body and mind to land in this present moment. And now bringing the awareness to the graph. Just noticing the natural flow, Natural rhythm of the breathing. There's no need to change or control anything. Just simply observe. You notice how the breath anchors you to the present. Moment by moment The breath is our anchor to the present moment. You and as you observe the breath the natural flow of the breathing Maybe notice where you can feel the breath the most. Perhaps the coolness of the air. As it touches the nostrils the rise and fall of the chest The expansion of the belly. And again just observe with kindness and curiosity. And if any time the mind wanders, Notice it with kindness. When you gently bring the awareness back to the breath. To the present moment. Anytime the mind drifts to thought Maybe you can imagine the thought as clouds in the sky and just watch them as they drift by. Into the distance thank you you whenever the mind gets distracted by school. Emotions. Sounds around you. Just acknowledge them with kindness. You did our judge, Man. And you gently guide yourself back to the breath to the present moment. And the more you do this, And the more you practice this, You will be able to remain in the present moment. More ends by more men. And now I will remain silent for a few minutes. To allow us to practice observing, And bringing the mind back to the present moment. Whenever it wanders. You Bye. You Yeah. You Yeah. Oh, Okay. Yes. Thank you. You. . Hello. Bye. Bye. Hello. Thank you. So you Bye. All right. Bye. Hello. Thanks. Thank you. Bye. And now gently bringing the awareness back to the body. To those physical contact points. Between yourself and the earth beneath you. Noticing any sounds around you. Just observe how you feel now. After this mindfulness meditation practice. And when you are ready, In your own time You may open your eyes. Take in your surroundings. And invite a sense of appreciation for this very moment Thank you everyone so much for joining me. For this mindfulness meditation. And of course, The more you practice, Being mindful and this kind of observing what's happening. Without attaching ourselves to whatever it is or trying to push things or change things The more we remain non-judgmental, And just try to observe whatever is happening within us and outside of us. The more we will be able to live our life in the present moment. And it is a really wonderful Wonderful thing to be able to remain in the present. And have that. Maybe it's a small gap between things happening. And reacting. So we have this small gap, We create this while practicing mindfulness meditation. And so we see things when they're happening and we got maybe a pause of timing. A tiny little second to decide how we're going to respond to whatever it is within us or outside of us. Rather than react. And also with mindfulness, Meditation, We can cultivate that awareness. And attention. So when we are speaking with someone, We are really there. We are really giving our undivided attention. To that person. Which really in this today's world is the biggest gift you can ever give to people your undivided attention rather than thinking of why I'm going to respond or Thinking of the answer straight, Why is the other person talking? So just being there, Being aware. That makes really these personal connections, Deepens these connections. And it's just a wonderful way of being And we are being. So we just be just as we are, Just as everything. Happening around us without them being. And we just try to come back, Come back to center, Come back to the present moment. And we keep on practicing it and that's okay we are human beings So our mind will go occasionally to different places. And that's okay. So thank you again for being here. And I wish you all a wonderful day. And I hope to see you soon. Bye for now.
