What this video is about
Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment without judging it. In this twenty-minute guided practice Bliss explains it in plain words, shows you how to sit, and gives you your breath as something to come back to.
She then widens the practice to the sounds around you, the sensations in your body, and thoughts passing like clouds. Your mind will wander; every time you notice and return is the practice working. The video finishes with a little silence.
Sit on a chair or a cushion with your eyes closed or resting on the floor. More on the mindfulness page, in how to meditate properly and in a daily mindfulness practice that lasts. In CalmSpace.ai, Bliss guides short practices by voice, and you can start free.
