As you feel your breath as it enters your body, and follow it for a couple of minutes, bring the gaze of your mind inward. As thoughts pop up, don’t judge or react, just let them float through. You’re simply observing them, that’s all. Let go of things in the past, whether from this morning or years ago. Also let go of future ideas. Come to the present moment. This moment – it’s real- embrace it.
--After you get to a point where you are able to let go in your mind, move on to the body. Relax from the crown of head to soles of your feet. Make a very real connection. You can even create a short phrase, a “mantra,” to repeat. Something as simple as “let it go” will work!
