Appreciate Gifts of Sight & Voice

In this mindfulness practice, we ask that you do the following:

 

    1. Find a quiet place, close your eyes, and begin taking slow deep breaths through your nose.

    2. As you breathe, focus your attention on your eyes – your “mind’s eye” that lets you imagine; and your outer eyes, which are part of your brain, allowing you to see the world around you.*

    3. As you breathe, gratefully repeat the focus words in your mind:

      Breathing in, think: “I can see the good …”
      Breathing out, think: “…and say it.”

    4. If your attention wanders, gently bring it back to your focus.

    5. When finished, tell someone, “Thanks!”

*If you are blind, focus on your “inner eye” and your ability to be aware of kindness and say “Thanks.”
