Amongst the Clouds

Introduction: Take some time out to look at the clouds, their shape, how they move and what they look like. Mindfulness is great for calming your busy mind and body. Being mindful is about paying more attention to the present moment. A few simple steps can help you to relax and feel more present

Instructions:

1. Lie on your back, with your arms by your side.
Take a moment to look at the clouds and explore
their range of shapes.
2. Feel the ground underneath you, how does it
feel on your back? Can you feel your bodyweight
pulling closer to the ground?
3. Be aware of your senses, can you feel a breeze
on your skin? Listen for different noises and
smell different scents around you.
4. Take some deep breaths, holding each one for a
few seconds, feel the air moving through your
body.

Enjoy the unique cloud formations. All clouds are different, created in different ways and
different places. They can move fast or slow, be big or small, the main aim is to enjoy looking at them and being mindful.

Notes:
Never look directly at the sun, it can damage your eyes. You may want to wear sunglasses if its a bright day.
This activity is done best when there are no distractions around.
