Calm the Mind in 3 Breaths
Calm and quiet your nervous system on demand, in the space of 3 mindful breaths.
Welcome. In this micro-practice, we will learn how to calm the mind in the short space of three breaths. This practice can help you begin to quiet the nervous system, anytime you're able to use it. Let me share the very short instruction and then we can practice together. So again, this micro-practice is done in just three short breaths.
On the first breath, I'll ask you to take a slightly deeper inhalation, and notice the breath. On the second breath, I'll ask you to take a deep inhalation, and notice the body. And on the third breath, take a deep inhalation, and then on the exhale, relax your body one small measure, whatever that means to you. So now let's practice together three breaths to calm the mind. On the first breath now, taking a slightly deeper inhalation.
As you begin to notice the breath coming in, and then exhaling. On the second breath now, taking a deep inhalation. And as you exhale, notice the body. And on the third breath, taking a deep inhalation. And as you exhale, relaxing the body one small measure, whatever that means to you.
That's our three breath calming the mind practice. So thank you for your practice and we hope this helps you on your mindfulness journey.
