It’s so easy to get caught up in our thoughts and miss the present moment. The process of thinking is of course part of our present moment experience, but today, we’re going to open ourselves up to our whole experience.
And if you’re enjoying these weekly mindful moments, you should really check out my weekly mindfulness group, Mindful Creators. I guide two mindfulness practices for the group, and then email out the recordings of those practices if you can’t make it live.
And it’s all free! Truly a great deal if you want to experience more mindfulness in your life.

Welcome to your mindful moment.
Go ahead and settle your body somewhere comfortable.
Start to tune into your breath and just notice what it's doing right now in this moment.
Feeling the delicious inhales as they come.
Feeling the relieving exhales as those happen.
Just mindfully noticing the experience of the breath, however it exists in this present moment.
And now bringing mindful awareness to your body and the experience of your body in this moment.
And if you notice any areas of tension or dis-ease, go ahead and lovingly send your breath to those areas with the intention of allowing those areas to further release and relax.
And as you continue to breathe and experience your breath and experience your continually relaxing body, see what's present in your mind today.
Is your mind very active, full of thoughts? That's okay, and for now, you can choose to gently release those thoughts.
Let go of your awareness and focus intently on those thoughts. Let go of that.
And choose to bring your awareness and your focus fully to your breath and your experience of the present moment.
And truthfully, any activity in your mind is just part of your present moment experience.
But I think we tend to hold so much focus and awareness on our thoughts that we lose out on the rest of our present moment experience.
And so for now, let's just practice letting that mind stuff be with us, be a part of our experience, but not our whole experience.
Your breath is part of your present moment experience.
Your body is part of your present moment experience.
So just lovingly observe your present moment experience.
I'm going to bring this mindful moment to a close, but feel free to remain in mindful meditation, focusing on your breath, enjoying your experience, observing your experience for as long as you like.
Have a great day.
