Part 2/7:
The session opens with participants being guided to take deep breaths. As they inhale and exhale rhythmically, they are encouraged to relax their hands and find their center. This initial breathing exercise lays the groundwork for a mindful practice, setting the tone for the movements that follow.
Grounding the Body
Next, participants place their hands on their knees, engaging in a grounding exercise where they move in large, circular motions. This circular grinding motion serves to root them further into the present, allowing for mindfulness and awareness of physical sensations. After a minute, they reverse the direction, maintaining their breath and focus.
