A practice designed to support you in becoming present as you ground through your five senses.

Join us for a series of brief, 5-minute practices, designed to support you as we navigate these challenging times. You’ll notice we are posting two copies of each practice—one guided by Rachel and one by Debbie.

Join us for a beginning exploration of what it’s like to work with the wandering mind. All of our minds wander! In fact, as humans, our minds wander about 47% of the time. We get lost in the past, the future, and in analysis of what’s happening in the present. Unfortunately, this mind-wandering, auto pilot state is associated with unhappiness. So our practice becomes re-tuning and returning to the present in a way that is gentle and compassionate, yet intentional. Join us for the Awareness of Breath practice to begin working with this wandering mind. Reach out to us at [email protected] with comments or questions. A service of Davis Behavioral Health.
