Setting It Down: a letting-go meditation
Notice something the mind is holding, feel where it sits in the body, and practise setting it down for one breath at a time. Timed text cues appear on screen, with optional device narration.
Before you begin
Sit comfortably upright with the hands open in the lap. After reading a cue, you may close your eyes and work with it gently; nothing here is about pushing anything away.
How it opens
Settle into your seat and take a few slower breaths. Let the hands rest open.
