Come say hello @withlovesian

We often move through life in motion…
Doing. Preparing. Thinking.
Often just a little ahead of ourselves.
Maybe even a little mindless… on autopilot.

This is an invitation to pause today.

To take a moment to slow down…
To be still.
To return to yourself and to this moment.

Maybe taking a few deep breaths.
Feeling your body resting on the earth.
Your feet and sit bones grounded.
Your spine tall.
Your shoulders soft. Your arms relaxed.

Feel your breath moving in and out.
The gentle rise and fall of your chest and belly.
That effortless flow… receiving and letting go.

Feel yourself here, now.

Connected.

To the earth. To your body. To your breath.

Feel the aliveness of this beautiful present moment.

No need to change a thing.

Just let yourself arrive.

A gentle return to presence.

This week I began the 8-week MBSR course and felt the deep pull to return to mindfulness -
not as a concept, but as a lived experience.

I started my day with a 32-minute body scan and a beautiful chapter from The Miracle of
Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh.

Simple words have anchored me today:
“I am showering”
“I am walking”
“I am washing the dishes.
“I am drinking tea”

Bringing awareness to everyday moments invites a different experience. It softens the
overstimulation, the pressure to do more, the mental noise. It invites a deeper experience of the present moment.

I chose not to listen to WhatsApp messages on my walk.
I took a break from screens.
I slowed everything down.

And I could feel my nervous system slowly exhale.

Mindfulness isn’t about doing it perfectly - it’s about returning to the here and now, again and again, with gentleness.

✨ Little shifts, quiet moments, a return to presence.

What is one moment you can meet fully today - to slow down and to feel the fullness of a simple moment?

The sun on my face. The quiet. The space to just b

The sun on my face.
The quiet.
The space to just be.
After a full, beautiful, busy week -
this is what I needed.

What would it feel like to give yourself space today?

A moment to soften 🤍
A blend of Supine Butterfly and Supported Bridge, using a bolster (or cushions + blankets) placed under the sacrum. The upper back rests on the earth, the heart is open, and the body softens downward.

Let this be a moment to slow down.
To breathe.
To feel.
To soften.

I like to stay for about 5 minutes, but you can stay shorter or longer - let your body guide you. When you’re ready to come out, gently hug your knees to your chest, and when you’re ready, roll to your side to release.

This pose is a beautiful invitation to soothe the nervous system - especially if you’re feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply busy.

Try it out and let me know how it feels 🤍
I’d love to hear your experience in the comments.
