Pearls of Wisdom

Mastery Practice Tool

A Mind with No Story

Take a timer and set it for 3 minutes. Allow for 3 deep breathes Breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Imagine you are breathing out all stressful thoughts and emotions. Allow the exhalation to be longer than the inhalation, and slightly pull your stomach in out at the end of your exhale. Now, keep repeating “a story less mind” over and over. Slowly, look around you and notice what’s good - it could be a cup, a rug, water, or another person. Go that extra distance and before you end. Open your heart to gratitude.

Testimonial

Bev's Laughing and Breathing Belly Workshop for Children was one of the best I have attended. She has a gifted ability to gently connect with children and teach and share with them her techniques of belly breathing, rooting, mind vacations and laughter. These techniques soothe and calm them whenever they feel overwhelmed or anxious - be at school, home or before bed time. Whether you have an overwhelmed pre-schooler or a test-anxious pre-teen, Bev's approach works! I love that she gave parents the tools to model and share these fundamentals of meditation with their children. I would encourage families to take her course...your children will thank you and you will benefit from ways to keep yourself calm and allow wisdom in.
