How Are You, Really?

Personalized support for learning how to integrate mindfulness into your life. Delivered fresh everyday by our world renowned experts. Choose meditation duration:

Hi, and welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.

So just inviting you now to just

settle here into your seat, and if you

care, to just taking a deep breath in.

And breathing out.

And if you care to just

allowing your eyes to close.

And just allowing yourself to become

really present here in this time,

in this place, in this moment/

Just becoming present to what

your body is feeling like.

Is there tiredness or restlessness?

Maybe aches or tingling or pulsing?

Just tuning into the body.

And then, you also just being attentive

now to what the mind state is like.

It may be calm or restless,

clear or foggy racing or slower.

Just observing what's here.

And noticing also what kinds

of emotions are present?

Just noticing what's here with a,

with a gentle and kindly curiosity.

So taking these few moments

to check in with yourself.

How are you?

Just honestly and gently

opening up to what's here.

How are you really right here, right now?

And given how you are right

now, what do you need?

You know, is there anything that you can

do today to, to care for yourself, to

enjoy yourself, to look after yourself?

Do you perhaps need more rest,

you know, more time outdoors, more

support of some kind, perhaps?

Do you need to say no to

something or yes, to something?

Just taking a moment to ponder that.

What do you need?

You know, in today's busy, demanding

world, we so easily lose touch with

ourselves and with what we're actually

feeling with that, what's actually

going on for us and what we're needing.

So today and going forward, see

if you can make it a habit to just

pause every now and then just like

this and check in with yourself.

And by doing so you'll become more

self-aware and you'll be able to take

more empowered actions that nourish

you and lead you towards a happier,

healthier and more meaningful life.
