Basic Mindfulness Exercises

UsupGal

A basic mindfulness exercise begins with simply sitting down, relaxing and breathing deeply.

Close your eyes and pay attention to your breathing, following the breath in and out.

After a short time, move your attention to your body, one part at a time, noticing any sensations of cold, hot, tight, sore or anything you can identify.

After a few minutes of attention on your body, start listening to the sounds of the room, without judging or criticizing or even thinking about them.

Just listen.

Slowly open your eyes and look around as if seeing for the first time.

Stop and rest your eyes on an object for half a minute. Examine it without saying things about it in your mind.

Repeat this with another object, and the another, while still maintaining an awareness of your body, and your breathing.

Continue in this state of mindfulness until you are ready to get up.
