Meditation
This breathing exercise helps us settle when we feel fluttery or nervous.
Imagine you can hear sounds from far away. Listen, then notice feelings of calm.
Intro
When you notice the variety of your thoughts, you can choose which to focus on.
Notice a thought, put it in a bubble, let it float away, and keep noticing.
Follow your breath in and out. Let thoughts, sounds, and sensations come and go.
Breathe in and out, and visualize love and comfort replacing heavier emotions.
Imagine visiting your favorite place. Gaze into the “infinite, open” blue sky.
In this listening exercise, notice the pitch and tone of sounds close and far.
What’s the difference between thoughts, the thinking brain, and awareness?
Appreciate all that your body’s done for you today, smile, and slip into sleep.
Exercise
What are you grateful for? Write it down, big or small. Notice how you feel.
You can’t change the past, but you can change how you feel about it.
Envision yourself being like a mountain—solid, strong, and patient.
Inhale clarity throughout your body. Exhale cloudiness and frustration.
Develop the habit of care by sending good wishes to a loved one—and yourself.
