Sound and Silence: A 10-Minute Mindfulness Escape
Let yourself be bathed in the sounds around you, even the less pleasant ones. We can't choose which sounds we hear. Sounds are quite like the thoughts in this respect. We can't choose which thoughts we have, but we can choose how to respond to them.
Ever feel like the noise of life is just too much? Morven Hamilton's latest episode on the Yoga by Nature Podcast offers a refreshing escape. In just ten minutes, Morven guides you through a mindfulness meditation that focuses on the sounds around you. This practice helps train your mind to receive information without immediately reacting.
