Relax...Let your teeth come apart a bit ... let your tongue come away from the roof of your mouth.
Breathe in deeply and let it out with a sigh.
Sit comfortably with an erect spine and your head level. Let your gaze rest softly on the screen in front of you. Bring your attention to your breathe. Bring all your attention to the sensations at the edge of your nostrils. If you notice yourself thinking simply say to yourself "thought" and come back to your breath.
When you are ready launch the video below which will guide you through a five minute mindfulness meditation. If you wish you may read the passage below following your meditation.
Song of the Builders (Mary Oliver)
On a summer morning
I sat down
on a hillside
to think about God -
a worthy pastime.
Near me, I saw
a single cricket;
it was moving the grains of the hillside
this way and that way.
How great was its energy,
how humble its effort.
Let us hope
it will always be like this,
each of us going on
in our inexplicable ways
building the universe.
