Mindful Mondays Podcast

Welcome to the 21 Day Mindfulness Challenge!! This is a time to push yourself, become open to change and see the transformation unfold. Every day there will be a new challenge, a description of the challenge and some tips and action steps. The daily challenges will build on each other and will gradually become more challenging. It is important not to skip a day so that you do not miss any necessary skills needed for future challenges. Mindful Breathing Meditation Preparation: Sit or lie in a comfortable position. ake 5 slow, deep, calming breaths to get you into your meditative state. Breathing Awareness After your 5 initial calming breaths, begin to breathe normally. Focus on the feeling of the air coming into your nose (or mouth). Notice the temperature (typically it is cool). Feel the air as it travels down your airway into your lungs. Feel your chest and/or stomach rise as your lungs fill up. Notice the fall of your chest and stomach as you begin to exhale. Feel the air coming back up your passageway.
