So called "informal practices" are often overlooked by practitioners, but research has shown that they can have a powerful effect on both the practitioner and the people around them. Here's a link to a page on our website that describes four of them: Two Feet and a Breath, R.A.I.N., STOP, and a 3-minute mindfulness of breathing practice:
Informal Practices
Try one now:
Take a quick scan of how you're doing: body, mind, mood.
Then place your feet flat on the floor, feeling into the solid connection between them and the ground. Take a slow breath in. And a slow exhale out.
Now how are you doing?
That's it - the Two Feet and a Breath practice :-)
