Lotus Breathing

Today, we use the image of the lotus flower to center our minds and focus our bodies for a breath and movement exercise. Takeaways: 1- Mindfulness is for everyone, and there is no correct way to practice it. 2- For some of us, incorporating simple, repetitive movements can be a useful tool to focus and quiet our minds and bodies. 3- Our body, mind, and breath work together to care for us—and each is an equally effective entry point into a mindfulness practice.   --- Mantra: I am grateful for my breath, my body, and my brain. --- The Shine app is a self-care app developed by two women of color to make daily rituals like meditation, connection, and reflection easier for everyone.
