In this 12-minute relaxation, mindfulness, and gratitude practice, we’ll begin by deliberately engaging in a practice of the breath that may offer a little bit more stability and tranquility for when we transition to a more traditional mindfulness practice. For example, when focusing our attention on an object like the breath and when noticing our mind wandering from that object, we can gently return or remember the breath, and we’re able to do so with a little bit more engaged attentiveness and sustained capacity to stay with the object of our attention.
