This easy, brief practice helps you shift from a reactive “thinking mode” to a mindful “being mode”. It involves 3 steps (AGE acronym): 1) Acknowledging current thoughts and feelings, 2) Gathering attention on the breath, and 3) Expanding awareness to the entire body.
This exercise requires a comfortable space in which you can stand and outstretch your arms in all directions. These stretches engage you in gentle physical movements while maintaining full awareness of your breath and body sensations. This practice will enhance your connection with your body, increase physical and mental relaxation, and promote a sense of presence and calmness.
This meditation involves directing your attention to your body and your breath, noticing sensations and movements without judgement. This practice helps to cultivate a deeper awareness of the present moment and fosters a sense of calmness and connection to your body.
