  • Résumé

  • Hey there, and welcome to today's practice. I'm so glad you've carved out this moment for yourself in what I know can feel like an endlessly churning world of demands and distractions.

    Right now, in this moment, I want you to know that your busy mind isn't a problem to be solved, but a landscape to be explored with gentleness and curiosity. Maybe today you're feeling overwhelmed by projects, deadlines, or the constant buzz of digital notifications. Maybe your thoughts are racing like scattered leaves in an autumn wind.

    Let's begin by simply arriving. Wherever you are - sitting, standing, whatever feels comfortable - allow your body to settle. Take a deep breath in through your nose, feeling your chest and belly expand, and then a slow exhale through your mouth. Let that breath be like a soft wave washing away the mental static.

    Now, imagine your thoughts as clouds drifting across a vast sky. Your mind is the sky - spacious, unchanging - and thoughts are just temporary visitors passing through. You don't need to chase them or push them away. Just observe. Each time a thought pulls your attention, gently - and I mean gently - return to the sensation of your breath.

    Picture your attention as a compassionate friend. When your mind wanders, which it absolutely will, your friend doesn't criticize. They simply and kindly say, "Oh, hello wandering thought" and guide you back to this moment, this breath.

    Focus on the rhythm of your breathing. Not controlling it, just witnessing. Breathing in, breathing out. Like waves touching the shore and then retreating. Soft. Steady. Present.

    As we complete our practice, take a moment to appreciate yourself. You've just practiced radical kindness - showing up for yourself in a world designed to pull your attention everywhere except inward.

    Carry this sense of spaciousness with you. When you feel your mind starting to spiral, take three conscious breaths. Remember: you are not your thoughts. You are the vast, open awareness witnessing them.
