The Inner Sanctuary
A 5-minute pause.
Settle. Breathe. Notice. Intend.
Ready when you are.
Find a quiet place. You can close your eyes after reading each step.
5:00
A soft chime marks each step if your device allows sound.
The five minutes
- Settle · 1 min
Sit comfortably. Let your shoulders drop. Notice the weight of your body. - Breathe · 2 min
Follow the circle. Breathe in as it grows, out as it softens. - Notice · 1 min
Bring to mind three things you are grateful for, one at a time. - Intend · 1 min
Choose one intention for the rest of your day. Say it silently.
Through steady practice and gentle letting go, the mind is held.
