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

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

Come, sit with me.

Adjust your body into any shape really that feels good to you take a moment to deliberately unlock your jaw and relax your shoulders.

If you're sitting, you don't have to sit with perfect posture, whatever that is.

We're just looking to be able to breathe comfortably and not be too distracted by our bodies.

Let's breathe in deep through the nose and sigh from the mouth.

One more please.

Deep in and out.

Good.

Then lips together and natural breath through the nose. You're not trying to make anything happen now.

You've stepped back into the role of observer.

So just observe your breath.

Come and go.

Rise and fall. And when you realize you weren't doing that anymore, without any drama, pivot back. The This ability to just watch, not react,

just observe. It's a sort of superpower

I think of it like a pendulum

swinging

at one end there is

going numb

pulling up out of your body.

And at the other end is the opposite.
