Mindfulness Practice
Easy, quick practices you can fit into your busy lives.

Sit or stand in a comfortable position.
Take a deep breath...slowly breathe out completely
Notice the sensation of your lungs refilling...emptying
Notice your abdomen rising...falling
Notice your shoulders rise...fall
Place your attention on just one of the movements of your breathing
When feelings arise, whether pleasant or unpleasant, simply acknowledge
Keep breathing
Expand and notice what you can see, hear, smell, and feel around you

Take a deep breath.
