Welcome to first this, a short mindfulness practice and message for any time.

I'm Catherine Nikolai. Let's settle our bodies.

Sit or lie down

or be in any shape that feels relatively comfortable.

Maybe roll your shoulders down your back

or give your jaw a big stretch.

And just work out any kinks that might prevent you from just resting in your body for a bit.

Then take a deep breath and through your nose and sigh from your mouth.

Again, all the way in and out.

Good. Good.

So we're looking for a place to rest your attention.

And that place can be any part of your body, just noticing the sensations there.

It can be the movement of your breath. I really like focusing on my belly, because my breath is easy to feel there.

And it being at my center, well, it feels centering.

Once you find a place, and don't overthink, just try something.

We'll work on keeping attention there.

Calmly attending to what you feel in your body

without getting tangled up in what you think about it.

Try having no opinion. Thank you. I'm I'm

I'm

I'm

I'm I'm
