Key Takeaways

• Begin by arriving: notice body sensations and how you’re showing up right now, with kind curiosity.
• Use the breath as an anchor (belly, chest, nose, or mouth)—wherever sensations are clearest in the moment.
• When distraction happens, name it gently and “begin again”; each in-breath is a fresh start, each out-breath a letting go.
• Near the end, set an intention for how you want to show up for yourself and others for the rest of the day.
