A short practice

Four unhurried steps to a calm pause

Whenever you have a few quiet minutes, you might like to read through these steps and follow them at your own pace.

  1. Find a comfortable seat

    Choose a chair or cushion where you can sit comfortably, letting your shoulders soften and your hands rest gently.

  2. Notice your breath

    Without changing anything, simply notice the natural rhythm of your breathing for a few unhurried moments.

  3. Lengthen the out-breath

    If it feels comfortable, let each out-breath become a little slower and longer than the breath before it.

  4. Return slowly

    When you feel ready, let your attention widen again and ease back into the rest of your day at a gentle pace.
