Space for Quietness

Taking just a minute

I sit comfortably,
quiet and still.
In the quietness
I watch my mind,
I feel my senses
gently I speak to them:
"for a moment stop,
just stop,
relax and be calm;
become free of hearing, seeing, doing.
Just stop".
Now I am in peace;
I am serene,
I am quiet.

Relaxing my Mind

Taking Just-a-Minute
I sit comfortably relaxed
Inviting my senses to relax
Meeting them as friends
Appreciating the work they do, I now choose to give them a break
I imagine closing the motorways of my senses
My thoughts begin to slow down my mind becomes clear
For a few moments, nothing is moving
My mind is free resting
I now return with clarity.

Relaxing

Taking just a minute

I sit comfortably,
gently my breath slows down;
I relax my body.
I let go of speed,
of the rush and push of thoughts.
Relaxing, letting go of these thoughts
I become still;
I become peaceful
Peace flows through my mind
through my body.
I am peaceful, calm, relaxed.

Mental Oxygen

Taking just a minute

I stop,
relaxing my body completely,
I breathe slowly.
In this moment
with one thought,
I refresh my tired mind.
With the thought
"I am peaceful
I am tranquil,
serene",
my mind receives a new breath.
My mind relaxes, is refreshed
and I remain
in this deep breath
of fresh thought,
peaceful, tranquil, serene

Breathing Calm

Taking Just-a-Minute
I take a few moments to focus on my breathing
As I breathe in, I imagine gathering all my tense or anxious thoughts
And as I breathe out, I blow all those thoughts away
Now, as I breathe in I draw down calm and tranquil thoughts from my mind
And as I breathe out, I spread these thoughts through my body
The body relaxes and my mind becomes free

Being Relaxed

Taking Just-a-Minute
I sit comfortably and allow my body to relax
Gently releasing any areas of tension
Focusing my attention on the centre of my forehead, I take a moment to look at the screen of my
mind
The speed of my thoughts begins to slow down
Until my mind is quiet and still .
My body and mind relaxed I once again become aware of my surroundings.
