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

I'm Catherine Nicolai. Let's have some quiet time together.

Any posture is just fine, use props or a chair if that feels better.

Let your face soften and draw a deep breath in through your nose and sigh through your mouth.

Do it again. Breathe in and out. Good.

Now, the approach is gentleness, my friend.

It's allow, not force.

Allow your attention to gather in the place in your body

where you can most readily feel your breath.

Nostrils, throat, belly, just wherever it's easiest. Side note.

Not everything has to be hard.

Sometimes things can be easy.

Sometimes you can allow them to be easy.

And they're still good and valuable. Struggle isn't the only way.

Allow your awareness to rest where you can feel your breath.

And when you realize it isn't there anymore, nothing wrong, just start again. Thank you. Simple idea today. So let's plant the seed

for peace.

Peace. Peace in your mind

peace in your body

peace in your heart. What would it feel like to have deep, thorough peace. What would your face?

What would your face look like?

Feel it from the inside out?
