Mindfulness For Women

Compassionate Breathing anchor from Mindfulness For Women

A practice to step you through ways of activating your body's calming system; feeling grounded, sensing the rhythm of your breath, aware of an upright and receptive posture, physical touch and connection to a warm and friendly tone to your inner voice. Practicing this formally will assist you to come more readily to these skills informally in your everyday life when you need them.
