The Mindful Minute

Take 8-10 minutes to simply close your eyes and listen ❤

This is a mantra meditation that connects your breathing with a message to both your conscious & subconscious mind that says you are good, strong, worthy, and at one with the world around you. Enjoy :)

This is a mindfulness exercise where we tune into the body and notice the beat of our heart and our pulse from head to toe and everywhere in between. When we focus on our heart, the mind and our restless thoughts start to fall into the background. Take a few minutes to see if this exercise works for you - follow your heart and enjoy :)

Take 10 minutes to do nothing special, take 10 minutes to just breathe.

Conscious breathing patterns are brilliant for helping us to take our mind off thoughts or worries in the past and in the future, to reduce our heart rate, and simply relax. This exercise is a short conscious breathing pattern that involves the popular 4-7-8 mindful breathing technique. If you haven’t tried this before I’d definitely recommend trying and seeing what you think :)

Take one minute out of your day to come back to your breath and anchor yourself into the present moment.

Take 10 minutes today to observe your breath, in individual sections and as a whole. This is my favourite form of mindful breathing :)

Did you ever draw as a child? Remember how fun and freeing it felt? In this exercise, I will ask you to draw yourself smiling, asking you to be mindful as you do so - listening to the music, my voice, the pencil on the page; noticing the feel of the pencil in your hand; noticing colour; acknowledging your work and maybe smiling at the quality of it. Next, I will ask you to note everything that you...

A simple breathwork exercise where the four parts of our breathing cycle are even i.e. The inhale, the post inhale hold, the exhale, and the post exhale hold. Take 12 minutes to unwind with this today :)

Imagine your breath was like an isosceles triangle, with your inhales and exhales equal in length, and a short and natural hold after each exhale. Imagine you could do this for ten minutes and find a space of quiet in between the busy-ness of your world. That is what this practice is. 10 minutes out of your day to breathe and find some peace in our frantic world. Enjoy :) As always, please subscri...
