Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo
Breath, Intention, And A Warmer Morning
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We lead a short morning practice that wakes the body, settles the mind, and sets calm strong focused intentions for the day. We imagine small joys, plan simple acts of care, and choose one mindful moment to meet life with warmth.
• slow nasal inhales with open posture
• body scan from feet to head as aliveness
• calm strong focused mantra as embodied cues
• envision small moments of joy and meaning
• name one way to contribute to others
• plan simple care for body and heart
• choose one mindful minute without judgment
• carry warm intentions into ordinary tasks
Teach mindfulness without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.

Awakening The Senses
SPEAKER_01The start of a new day. Waking up the senses. Feeling from the inside what it's like to be fully alive right now. Right here in this body. I can begin by taking a few deep breaths. In through the nose, and out through the mouth. Expanding the lungs. Releasing tension. Straightening your posture. And feeling alive. Waking up the body with the breath. Sensing what it feels like to be alive. Feeling the sensations in your feet, in your legs.
Calm Strong Focused Mantra
SPEAKER_00Waking up the belly and the back. Expanding the lungs and the chest. Feeling the aliveness in your shoulders, in your arms, your hands. And feeling the energy move up your neck and into your head. Waking up. Starting the day with positive energy. Breathing throughout your whole body. And repeating the words calm strong focused. And so you are calm, strong, focused, feeling more and more alive and in control. Calm. Strong focused.
SPEAKER_01And now gently looking ahead into the mysterious expanse of the day ahead. Imagine some moments of goodness or joy that can happen during your day.
Care For Body And Heart
Mindful Moments And Warm Intentions
SPEAKER_00Moments of goodness or joy. Something you can contribute to others in a way that feels fulfilling to you. Something you can contribute. Imagine a couple of opportunities to take care of your body today. Taking care of your body. Envision an experience that feels nurturing to your heart. Nurturing your heart. And imagine a time when you can be fully mindful, fully aware of your experience without judgment during your day. Noticing that the day is always a little brighter when you reconnect with your warmest intentions. Reconnecting with the mystery and the wonder of everyone and everything around you.
