Thought for today:

‘Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.’

— Thich Nhat Hanh

It is six years since I first went to the Oxford Mindfulness Centre.

I was starting a journey of becoming a mindfulness teacher, one completed but not at Oxford.

More recently I introduced a short mindfulness exercise into my training work with groups of 10-12 people.

The response has been surprising.

This is not a dedicated meditation practice, it is a simple meditation of just three minutes.

It is a way to transition from one mental focus state to another.

The surprise was how popular it was.

As is usual in Mindfulness, it centres on the breathing as a fulcrum.

Moving a busy mind to a present mind all by yourself.

I use it regularly, in addition to other, longer practice.
