Good morning friends, Happy thursday!
- 00:04 - 00:10
Welcome to today's Mindful mornings where we are practicing mindfulness every day
- 00:11 - 00:12
As a reminder.
- 00:12 - 00:15
Mindfulness means being fully here
- 00:15 - 00:19
and focusing on the present moment,
- 00:19 - 00:22
focusing on where we are right now.
- 00:23 - 00:28
Being mindful means being to really think about what we're saying,
- 00:28 - 00:32
what we're feeling and what we are looking at.
- 00:32 - 00:36
So in order to bring us into this mindful moment right
- 00:36 - 00:41
now we are going to be trying our candle watching again.
- 00:41 - 00:45
So the way this works is you will sit comfortably in your chair
- 00:46 - 00:48
and you will start with your deep breath in
- 00:49 - 00:49
Yeah
- 00:51 - 00:52
and out
- 00:54 - 00:57
and you will see me play a video on a candle
- 00:58 - 01:00
as you watch the candle,
- 01:01 - 01:02
watch it flicker
- 01:03 - 01:03
back and forth,
- 01:04 - 01:10
notice the colors, the mixture of red, orange, yellow,
- 01:11 - 01:12
imagine
- 01:12 - 01:16
that you're in that dark room just watching the candle.
- 01:17 - 01:19
You see the darkness around
- 01:19 - 01:22
and you see the light of the candle
- 01:22 - 01:24
and you can almost feel
- 01:24 - 01:25
the warmth
- 01:26 - 01:27
that it brings.
- 01:28 - 01:30
I'm gonna go ahead and show you that video
- 01:31 - 01:32
