Today we practiced 'gratitude breath' followed by 10 minutes of silence.
- Start with a slow, deep, sighing breath.
- Relax the muscles in the body (unclench jaw, drop shoulders, release the belly).
- Picture a person, pet, or plant and foster the feelings of gratitude and love
- Repeat this process until you are feeling calm (or as a meditation practice)
The Gratitude Breath Practice is great for when you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or otherwise unsettled. If in public, you can do an 'internal sigh rather than vocalizing.
Good luck everyone with the 30 day meditation challenge.
Remember if you miss a day, that is okay, just begin again the next day!
