Relax Here

with a

5 minute Meditation Break

Take a moment out of your busy life now
to give yourself a gift of relaxation and peace.

• Remove as many distractions as possible. Close the door; unplug the phone; have someone take messages for you; whatever works for you right now.

• When you have finished reading this list of instructions you will click the arrow at the bottom of the page and allow your eyes to close.

• Sit in a comfortable upright posture.

• Then, take three deep cleansing breaths, deeply and slowly, and as you exhale, let your body relax.

• Allow your breath to settle into its natural rhythm, letting your attention rest gently on each entire breath (either as it passes through your nose, or as your abdomen rises and falls). With each exhalation allow a little more tension to drift away.

• When you are ready to attend to the next 10 breaths, silently counting them, close your eyes as you click on the star. (If you find yourself drifting off into thought, gently return to the breath and continue to count. If you lose count, start at one. If you want to meditate longer, keep counting 1-10.)

• Open your eyes when you are ready, any time after the tenth breath.
