Reconnect In 10 Minutes Or Less
/TRY A SHORT 7 MINUTE MINDFULNESS PRACTICE
Mindfulness is a major classification of meditation practices, known as vipassana, or insight meditation. Sometimes just called breath centered meditation. While it is taught in various ways, depending on your guide or the lineage of the practice, the practice always has some main characteristics: you begin by gathering your attention on your breath and slowly move to a wider and wider scope of attention, observation - such as noticing sound in your environment. When thoughts (or feelings and sensations) pull your attention from your breath you simply note the thought as best as you can without judgment and instead of dialoguing with it or following it, you gentle relax more. In addition, just as sound rises and falls - you relax with everything that is in the field of your awareness. You relax with your breath, in your set, as present as possible with each moment as it’s happening.
