21-Day Challenge: The Practices
If you feel overwhelmed at any point during a practice, please don't continue. Open your eyes and look around. Take a few deep breaths. Stand up and walk around the room.
Day 4
Slowly and steadily, we’re building awareness of our constant companion, the breath. With this 5-minute practice, Sara introduces a slightly different technique, following breath sensations from head to toe and toe to head.
Day 3
In these first few days of the Challenge, what have you noticed about the breath? What sensations grab your attention? During this 6-minute practice, Kirsten Corbett suggests we try and find a few words to name the sensations we notice . . . "tightness, pressure, itch." How does that shift your awareness?
Day 2
Where do you notice the sensations of the breath — the tip of your nose, your chest, maybe your belly? Pay attention to those sensations. This is the essence of the 6-minute practice from Brittany Belisle. And remember . . . when (not if) your mind wanders during the practice, just note that your attention has strayed and bring it back to Brittany’s voice.
Day 1
We begin this fresh start with a simple 7-minute breath practice from Sara Flitner. Find a quiet, comfortable spot, press play, and do your best to follow Sara’s voice. Your mind will wander — perhaps a lot — but that is normal. Just gently bring your attention back, without judgment, as many times as necessary.
