Mindful Gazing

𝕄𝕚𝕟𝕕𝕗𝕦𝕝 𝕄𝕠𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕤
So many times when we do a mediation or a mindful exercise we close our eyes. Today let’s try pausing and lingering in the gifts of our visual world 👁

𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑮𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈
* Start by noticing your breath (this is always a great anchoring point)
* Then allow your attention to move to the muscles around your eyes. Are they tight, relaxed, heavy?
* Allow your blinking to become gentle and slow.
* As you begin to gaze around your space - Notice how your eyeballs feel in the lids.
* First take in the area as a whole - then start focusing in on details.
* How is the light? Colors? Textures?
* Notice something that bring your joy.
* How does your body respond to that object or image?
* What’s the meaning you connect to it?
* As you stay with your sight in a mindful way.... Notice how your other internal sensations have shifted.
* Move back and forth between your internal state and the external world that your eyes bring in.
* In closing, maybe offer your eyes a moment of gratitude for being such a vital part of your experience as a human.

May you have many lovely mindful moments.
