"I hope to have gathered
To repay your kindness
The willow leaves
Scattered in the garden."

- Matsuo Basho

Tending the seeds

Read the handout for Session three 'Gathering the scattered mind' by clicking on the blue scroll.

Taking care of yourself and working within your own limitations, practise the Stretch and Breath mindful movement practice.

The Breathing Space can be used throughout the day, see below.

New Habits in Everyday Life.

This week bring the Breathing Space into everyday life, maybe at key moments in your day like when you get out of bed, arrive at work or home, and get into bed at the end of the day.

Continue with the Experiences Calendar but this week with a focus on unpleasant experiences. Bring awareness to at least one unpleasant experience each day, filling in the calendar each evening. Use this to help you become more aware of the sensations, feelings, thoughts and impulses that arise, at the time.
