Mindfulness exercise: Breathing meditation
This week there will be two different breathing meditations.
One is an observation of the normal breath, where we practice presence on the breath, while the other called "The Stamp" is an exercise in activating the parasympathetic nervous system to provide calmness and centering.
We recommend that you start with Breathing Meditation 1: "Presence on the normal breath", and then continue with Breathing Meditation 2: "The Stamp".
Click on the links below to start the exercises. We recommend that you continue completing the worksheet "What do you notice?" about your experience.
1) What did you experience in your body?
2) What specific thoughts went through your head?
3) What emotions did you feel?
4) How did you react to it? Were you able to observe what was without judgment and without trying to change it?
