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, have demonstrated mindfulness on ITV, RTE and TV3 and have had books on mindfulness published in several countries and languages. I provide public and corporate courses. My latest book is "Daily Calm - 100 daily reminders to help you build the mindfulness habit." My aim is to make mindfulness easily accessible to people in their everyday lives.
