Flowers & Breath Mindfulness Practice

14/02/2023

 

In this simple and pleasant mindfulness practice we look at small flowers at the base of a tree which I filmed in the Croppy Memorial Park  in Dublin.

As you watch you do two things. First you are watching without thinking about or analysing anything. Second, you maintain an awareness of your breath as you watch.

This is a useful practice since we try to be mindful as we go about our day.

You could extend this practice to looking at flowers, trees or shrubs on a walk with breath awareness. Or you could be aware of a breeze on your face or sounds around you.

I have practised mindfulness since the late 1980s, have taught mindfulness throughout Ireland and in London and have had books on mindfulness published in several countries and languages. I have demonstrated mindfulness on RTE, ITV and TV3 (now Virgin). I provide courses online. My latest book is "Acceptance - Create Change and Move Forward." My aim is to make mindfulness easily accessible to people in their everyday lives.
