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

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

Please feel free to sit or lie down or put your back on the floor and take your legs up a wall.

Really, any shape is just fine.

They all provide equal opportunity for enlightenment.

Then a big breath in and sigh out.

Again, deep in and out.

Good.

So all that mindfulness is, is paying attention in a calm way.

That's it. It's not complicated.

It doesn't mean it's easy or automatic, but it's not complicated. It's not complicated. It doesn't mean it's easy or automatic, but it's not complicated.

So we find something to pay attention to, probably your breath or some sensation in your body,

or even a sound in the room.

And you just tune your dial to that bit of experience.

And stay with it. and If you find yourself having opinions about what you notice, are just getting distracted,

that is a sign that you have a functioning brain

and that you are human.

Well done.

Just start over.

Pay attention.
