Mindful Minutes

Today we’ll explore a common cycle of avoidance that can cause greater anxiety, and we’ll practice three practical tools for interrupting the cycle: A 3-3-3 grounding exercise, deep breathing with slow exhales to promote calm, and mindful awareness of present emotions without judgment. Together, these tools provide a foundation for managing anxiety both in the moment and over time, and you can return to them at anytime - whether you feel anxious or would just enjoy a grounding or calming practice.

Today’s meditation helps us cultivate kindness and compassion through a focused practice of sending warmth and care to others. By directing our attention first to someone we love, then to a stranger or acquaintance, we experience how compassion can bridge connection and understanding, even with those you know less intimately.

Today’s meditation uses a 5-5 breathing pattern to help center your mind and calm your body. Through a rhythm of deep, even belly breaths, you’ll release tension and anchor you in the present moment. And through this practice we can develop a deeper sense of calm that extends beyond the session.

Today’s meditation is a guided open monitoring meditation, where we’ll observe thoughts, emotions, and sensations with curiosity and non-judgment, simply noticing each experience as it arises. We’ll label sensations, thoughts, and feelings (e.g. “thinking” or “hearing”) as a way to stay present without becoming attached. This practice is great for cultivating greater mindfulness and inviting a sense of clarity and relaxation that you can carry into the rest of your day.
