Meditation and attention practices

Brief practices can help slow things down, notice the body and bring attention back to the present. They should not become a test of endurance.

90 seconds of a gently longer exhale

Sit with support. Without forcing the breath, allow the exhale to become slightly longer than the inhale. If you feel dizzy, panicky or uncomfortable, return to normal breathing and stop.

The practice should preserve choice

Closing the eyes or focusing on breathing does not suit everyone. You can look at an object in the room, feel your feet on the floor or listen to surrounding sounds.
