3-Minute Breathing Space: Take A Break

Welcome to this brief moment of mindfulness.

In our busy lives,

We can easily slip into autopilot.

The three-minute breathing space helps you gather your thoughts and reconnect with the present moment.

If you like,

Gently close your eyes and turn your attention inwards.

Take a moment to simply be.

Notice what thoughts are passing through your mind.

Are there any feelings present?

How does your body feel in this moment?

Simply acknowledge what is here,

Without judging or changing anything.

This is how it is in this moment.

Now bring your attention to your breath.

Observe how it flows into your body and out again.

Notice where you can feel it most vividly.

Perhaps in your nose,

Your abdomen or in your chest.

Follow the natural rhythm of your breath,

Allowing it to be just as it is.

Now widen your awareness to include your whole body.

Notice your posture,

The expression on your face.

Feel the contact of your body with the surface beneath you.

Meet yourself with kindness and care.

Ask yourself,

What do I need right now?

When you're ready,

Gently open your eyes and carry this mindful awareness with you into the next moments of your day.
