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

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

Thanks for coming to sit with me today.

Please settle your body in any way that is comfortable and accessible.

You know, it's okay to, like, feel good while you do this.

And you can lay down or use bolsters or a wall to prop your legs up on.

If this feels good, it's a lot more likely.

You'll come back and do it again tomorrow.

Now draw a deep breath in and sigh.

Once more, fill it up and let it go. Good. Lips touch together.

Natural breathing, moving at its own pace through your nose.

Let's spend the first minute or so, just practicing, narrowing our focus as we get better at what we do habitually.

Notice what is happening now right now right now you're breathing

breathing there are sounds in the room, may be very subtle.

There are sensations in your body.

The air has a temperature.

Your clothes have weight.

Can you just stay in the flow of receiving all that sensory information moment to moment?

And when you find yourself pulled into a thought or a memory or making a judgment about how something feels, just see how quickly you can start over.

Pay attention to now. Thank you. I'm I'm

I'm

I'm Thank you. Still there.
