3) Two short practices to steady the mind and ease the body, with a kindly approach

> The following is a five minute concentration practice to bring the body and mind into present-moment awareness, using the breath as an anchor. We cultivate an attitude of gentle, kind acceptance to all that comes up and to the naturally wandering nature of mind.

It can be used as a short formal practice, or adapted for on-the-spot use at any time during the day or night.

Simple Kindly Breathing Practice

> The next practice is a six minute breathing space, adapted from 'A Practical Guide to Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living' by Erik van den Brink and Frits Koster (p. 10).

Again, this short practice can be used as a formal mindfulness practice, or used spontaneously at any time.
