From Five Good Minutes
How often do you wish you could calm down or just relax?
Everyone has a built-in capacity for deep relaxation,
but they may not appreciate or know how to access it. This
practice will teach you a way to connect with your own ability
for deep inner relaxation.
Breathe mindfully for about a minute.
Set your intention. For example, “May this practice
of deep relaxation bring me health and ease.”
Focus mindfully on the sensations of your breath, in
and out.
Imagine that you are inhaling calm and peace. With
each out-breath, exhale any unnecessary tension in
your body.
Breathe this way for a few more minutes. Let the
actual flow of your breath support you, bringing in
peace and carrying out tension.
End by opening your eyes and moving gently. |
