In this beginner mindfulness practice, you’ll explore how often the mind drifts into autopilot and how simple tools can help you come back to the present moment. You’ll practice choosing an anchor— 1 of your 5 senses. By comparing a relaxed, slouched posture with a more alert, mindful one, this meditation shows how attention can be trained with gentleness and curiosity. This is an easy, practical practice you can return to anytime your mind feels scattered, overwhelmed, or unfocused.
