February 22, 2021 Mindful Drawing
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 are grateful for today, everything that makes you smile.
Hopefully by the end you will have a more quiet mind, a sense of gratitude, and a lovely self portrait :)

February 01, 2021 Triangle Breathing
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 :)
