Listen to the Pause in our bio or follow along here: Find a comfortable position where you feel safe and supported. Take a slow breath in through your nose and hold it. Exhale fully, letting go of any tension. Do this as many times as you would like as you take this break in your day.

Think about an area in your life where you are in transition or feeling unsettled. How do you experience this in your body? Is it restlessness? Tightness? Just notice.

Allow yourself to be in this moment, without needing to change anything. Breathe in patience and breathe out the need to rush as you embrace the magic of in-between.

Imagine how letting yourself rest in the uncertainty of in-between might shape new possibilities for how or what you think, believe, know, feel, or do. No need to come up with specifics right now, just be with the intention of future possibilities.

Take another moment to breathe in patience and breathe out the need to rush.

Place a hand over your heart and whisper: “I honor the space between what is and what will be. I trust that clarity will come in its own time.”

When you are ready, stretch your body in any way that feels good.

Protect your peace with this mindfulness practice.

Protect your peace with this mindfulness practice. Listen via link in bio or try it here: Find a comfortable position where you feel safe and supported.

Notice how your body feels and stretch in any way that feels good. Remember that
movement is medicine.

Give your body a gentle shake, committing to your first act of protecting your
peace.

Notice your breath. When you breathe in, say to yourself, “I know I’m breathing in.”
And when you breathe out, say to yourself, “I know I’m breathing out.”

Allow yourself to go inside, trusting that peace exists in the present moment.

Reflect on a situation where you are feeling or have felt swept away in the
noise, the anger, or the overwhelm. As you think about this situation, notice how
your body responds. Is your body tightening or contracting?

Give yourself a break. What would it look like to protect your peace? What would
you have to say or do to protect your peace? Imagine doing that right now (pause).

Notice how your body and heart feel when you protect your peace. Use all your
senses to experience this fully.

When you’re ready, stretch your body in any way that feels good. #mindfulness #movemindfullyconnect

Try this mindfulness practice to connect with your heart. Listen at link in bio or follow along here: Find a position where you feel safe and supported. Stretch your body in any way that feels good. Breathe slowly as you give yourself a break in your day.

Begin to watch your thoughts. What are you thinking about? Imagine your thoughts are on a screen and you can scroll through them, one after another. Go with the flow of your random thoughts. Notice how they come and go, one after another – appearing and disappearing naturally.

Now shift your attention to your heart and bring your thoughts here. Place one or both hands over your heart. Notice your thoughts entering your heart space.

How does your heart feel right now? Imagine breathing into your heart and out of your heart. Take five slow breaths.

Imagine your heart getting stronger and brighter with each breath. Imagine your heart getting brighter with each breath. Does bringing attention to your heart slow down your thoughts?

Lift your arms up overhead and stretch in your chair in any way that feels good. Let your heart shine. Now, place your hands back on your heart for a few slow breaths. Notice how your mind and body feel.

When you’re ready, stretch anyway your body wants to. #mindfulness #movemindfullyconnect

“There’s a crack in everything, that’s how t

“There’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in” - Leonard Cohen. Try this mindfulness to explore letting the light in - audio via link in bio or follow along here: Find a comfortable position where you feel safe and supported. Stretch your body in any way that feels good. Come into stillness and breathe slowly as you give yourself a break in the day.

Read this statement with both your mind and your heart: “There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” Where do you feel these words in your body?

Think of something that feels like it is cracking open or falling apart. Notice how your body feels when you think about this situation.

What big emotions are coming up? Meet any big feelings with kindness and compassion. For example, “I see you fear. I see you worry. I see you anger.” As you say these words, imagine a light shining into the cracks of this situation.

Welcome any big emotions with Inner Resource ACCEPTANCE (“I can be here now just as I am”). Notice how you feel as you let light into the cracks of this experience.

Reflect on this statement: “There’s a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” How would it feel to trust that what is falling apart or breaking open is inviting you to receive support from others? Or to trust yourself more? Or to allow yourself to feel the power of vulnerability? Or to come together stronger in community. Notice how it feels to let the light in.

When you are ready, stretch your body in any way that feels good. #mindfulness #movemindfullyconnect

Mindfulness can help you "lean hard in new directions". Listen to this practice via link in bio or read it here: Find a position where you feel safe and supported. Stretch your body in any way that feels good.

Give yourself a break in the day. Allow yourself to breathe slowly for a few breaths.

Think of a decision that is present in your life where you may be experiencing some hesitancy or confusion about what to do.

Just notice, don’t analyze. Visualize what it would look (and feel like) to lean hard into a new direction. Is it leaning hard into thinking in a new way or leaning hard into taking the next best small step or leaning hard into doing less?

What does it look like? What does it feel like? Continue leaning hard in as you take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the possibility of taking action in a new direction.

When you are ready, stretch your body in any way that feels good. #mindfulness #movemindfullyconnect
