Right now, set a timer for five minutes and find a quiet place outside or near a window where you can see the sky.

Take a moment to feel the weight of your body on the earth.

Raise your gaze to the horizon.

Connect fully with the natural cycle of your breath.

When you drift off into thought, simply acknowledge that by gently and silently saying, “Thinking” to yourself. Then return your attention to your breath.

This week’s meditation is by our friends Ellie and Lodro from MNDFL. It uses simple techniques that will help you cultivate your daily practice.
