Today I am thankful for the air that I breathe, a lot of things happen when you follow your breath, you mind becomes clear, your thoughts can be transported into another time, sit quietly with your feet grounded to the floor, back straight, breathing in four counts, exhale four counts, repeat. What happens, the anxiety falls away, strength replaces fear, the mind is uncluttered, in four counts, out four counts... over and over until I am at peace with myself and my surroundings. Breathe – Take a few deep breaths and as you breathe in, know that you’re breathing in, as you breathe out know that you breathing out. The instructions are very simple. You can even say to yourself, “In” as you’re breathing in and “Out” as you’re breathing out. This is meant to pop you out of auto-pilot and steady your mind. Expand – This is the process of expanding your attention throughout the body and just feeling the body as it is. You may feel warmth or coolness, achiness, itchiness, tension, tightness, heaviness, lightness or a whole host of sensations. Or perhaps you notice no sensation at all in other areas. When you’re here also be aware of how emotions are being expressed in the body. Stress may be tension in the chest or shoulders, calm may be looseness in the back or face. Whatever you notice, just practice allowing to be as it is without needing “to do” anything about it.
