Creating space for mindful moments throughout your day, can help you to create a bit of space between what you are feeling and thinking, and your actions. It can also help you become more aware of your true feelings, and with practice, can help you to know yourself better. This short meditation can be done at any time of the day, and will help you to become more aware of what you are feeling, thinking, and experiencing at a particular moment.

Mindful moment

I noticed my body sensations that were building up. I didn’t realize how overwhelmed I was feeling until this helped me break down my thoughts. A very good meditation!

I noticed that I’m listening too hard to the instruction and not feeling yet .

I learned that slowly going through every inch of my body grounds me in a way I hadn’t really expected.

Mindful Moments

Taking a few moments to observe our bodily sensations, thoughts and emotions gives us space to get in touch with who we really are beyond our body, thoughts and emotions. In touch with who we really are for a few moments can give us the peace and clarity needed to make our next steps in life. Getting comfortable, I took in three deep breaths. I then scanned my body for any sensations I felt for a few moments. Then I turned towards the thoughts in my mind for a few moments. Allowing them to float across the sky of my mind like clouds, I was able to refrain from identifying with them and instead, see them for what they were: thoughts. I placed my hands over my heart to get in touch with the emotions my body was experiencing for a few moments. Sensing without identifying with them, I noticed how they rise out of nothingness , stay awhile and then dissipate into nothingness. Taking these mindful moments, I am getting to know myself better. Might you take some mindful moments for yourself today? Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️

Talking

I learned that I need to talk to Eric about how I feel and I’m not sure he’s listening on the travel issue but I need to say it so he understands that I’m very lonely without him

Jane

Emotion

I noticed today that I have a feeling of low level of stress as my default sensation when I check in with myself.

I can get through this and be ok again. I can find and deserve the love, success, giving, health that I deserve.

Mindful

I liked that. The body check in, acknowledging the thoughts and letting them go. It was a nice few moments of being in the present moment.
