Mindfulness and being 'in the moment' is a spiritual practice that is
empowering and transformational. I find this technique really helpful for creating a
sense of calm and well-being.
- Sit with your back as straight
as possible and make yourself comfortable
- Close your eyes when ready
- Feel the rhythm of your
breathing as it rises and falls and slow it down.
- Be aware of sounds in the room
but they don’t matter
- Feel the air in the room gently
moving around you and be aware of your breath is you exhale
- Remove any tension in your feet
and legs
- Relax your pelvic area and
release the tension from your buttocks
- Feel your chest and back relax
and take away any tension
- Relax your arms and your
fingers
- Loosen and relax your shoulders
- Now relax your scalp and the
muscles in your face. Slightly open your jaw and let your tongue rest
gently at the bottom of your mouth
- Breath in peace and
tranquillity, breathe out stress and tension
- If any thoughts come into your
mind just blow them away. They can wait until later
- Now visualise a warm golden
white light in your solar plexus which is just below your sternum and
breathe into and out from the light
- Make it grow in intensity and
spread outwards throughout your body until its warmth and brightness has
permeated every nerve, every muscle and every cell in your body
- Everything is slowing down now
and you are feeling as though even your blood has slowed down.
- Continue breathing deeply and
slowly
- Tell yourself in a soft voice
that everything is going to be fine. You feel safe and secure
- Continue breathing deeply,
slowly surrendering yourself to a feeling of deep peace
- Begin to feel ‘light and
fluffy’ like marshmallow until you reach a point of absolute stillness.
- Remain calm and still for 5minutes.
Longer if you prefer
- Feel yourself sitting on the
chair
- Wiggle your fingers and toes
- Slowly, when you are ready, open
your eyes and have a good stretch.
Now don't you feel better?
