Take A Moment

Three step breathing space.

So just becoming aware of our body,

Noticing any points of contact,

Moving our attention into this body space as best we can.

And just beginning to become aware of the fact that we're sitting or standing wherever we are just right now and asking ourselves this question just right now how am I doing?

Really listening to the answer how am I doing just right now?

How's this body feeling?

What's on my mind?

Becoming aware of any emotions present?

What's here?

As though we might ask a friend.

We're checking in with ourselves with our frequency just right now.

Just noting what's here without needing to change it or make it better.

We can choose at this point to begin to focus our attention on our body breathing and narrowing of our attention.

So we become aware of the sensation of each breath as best we can.

This cycle and flow of our body breathing.

We don't need to change anything or make anything better or different.

Our body knows exactly what to do.

Just breathing.

Just this breath.

And on the next breath in we can take a deeper breath so we can fill the lungs,

Allow the chest to rise,

Feel the ribs expanding and softening in the belly.

We might want to place a hand on our chest and a hand on our belly and just say to ourselves whatever's here let me be with it.

Whatever's here let me be with it.

Feeling our body filling with air,

Filling with this breath.

Sensing into the whole of our body in this moment just as it is.

And seeing if we can take some of this stillness and spaciousness through to the rest of our day.
