Transcript
Welcome to our 20 minute mindful breathing exercise.
Once again,
Sit in an upright,
Dignified posture.
Allow your eyes to close or to lower your gaze to the floor.
Soften and unfocus it.
And gently bring your attention to the breath.
Allow your attention to rest on the sensation of where you feel the breath most easily.
Thoughts or other distractions take your attention away.
Just allow yourself to notice them.
Label them if you like.
Thinking,
Listening.
And then gently bring your attention back to the breath.
Again and again.
Over and over.
This is the practice.

As we move forward into the day,
Let's see if we can bring this state of mindful awareness with us.
Noticing and accepting each of our experiences just as it is.
Relating to them just as they are.
Thoughts as thoughts.
Emotions as emotions.
Sensations as sensations.
Have a wonderful day.
