Stop and Listen...


here's an easy way to center and calm yourself and it can be done just about anywhere!

sit or lay in any comfortable position… closing your eyes or leaving them open, depending on your preference… now for the next five minutes just focus on the sounds around (a fan spinning, car driving down the road, water moving in a fish tank). just sit and listen to it all. don't go searching for new sounds, let them come to you… if your mind wanders, that's ok, acknowledge the thought and bring your focus back to just listening…

this technique can be quite calming done at a local park; it can even be very interesting if you do this in a public place, the collage of sounds you would get there.

so the next time you have a few minutes…. just stop and listen….
