Practicing being, we slow down and let go of the constant need to be doing something. Breathe. Let go.
In the midst of the busyness and doing of our daily lives, we can create a sense of stillness and peace simply by being present with whatever is happening in this moment and the next. This is the informal practice of everyday mindfulness. In our formal practice of mindfulness meditation, we allow an opportunity to create an even deeper state of relaxation. This deep state of relaxation is healing for our body, mind, and spirit. Turn the attention toward the breath. Allow the attention to focus on the coming of the breath in and out of the body, the rise of the chest and belly with the inhale, and the lowering of the chest and belly with the exhale. When the mind wanders, simply notice it without judgment, and bring the attention back to the breath.
To get back in touch with being is not that difficult. We only need to remind ourselves to be mindful. –Jon Kabat-Zinn
