In this one-minute guided mindfulness session, we'll use a 4/6 breath technique to bring you into the here and now. There are so many little moments throughout the day that we are waiting - in line, at a red light, etc. We can use these micro moments to build our muscle of mindful presence. Let's take a pause together to refresh your body, clear your mind, and open up space for deeper, more expansive breaths.

Waiting in line can feel like such a waste of time,

But sometimes it's unavoidable.

What it does is gives people who have no time an opportunity to practice a little bit of mindfulness.

You'll start to draw your awareness into the breath,

Feeling the air as it comes in and the air as it comes out.

I want you to start to slow this breath down,

So we'll do it together,
