Hello and welcome to part 15 of mindfulness @ Christmas.
Giving is a big part of Christmas, the presents, the cards. A lot of material giving happens around Christmas.
Today we are going to shift the focus to a task of giving which money cannot buy.
The things we can give at this time of year which have an impact but cost nothing, might change someones outlook on life.
A smile is so powerful, yet sometimes we get caught up with technology when walking we don’t look at the people we pass.
Maybe a positive comment to someone today could shift their entire outlook on christmas, how cool would that be!
So lets jump into today task of giving.
***Music starts***
Close your eyes softly, let your body begin to relax.
Breathe in and breathe out. Feel your chest gently rise and fall.
Take a moment to be with your breathe.
Now bring your awareness to the things you could give which cost nothing, are so easy to give they require little effort.
A smile.
Directions.
A helping hand.
A positive comment.
A hug.
These are all little things that to you might not seem a big deal at all, however to the person you are giving, might mean the world.
Today see if you can give, even the smallest thing.
Take a moment to think of all those little things, which could have a big impact on someone.
Breathe in deeply once more and then out.
Gently wiggle your fingers and your toes. Gently open your eyes.
Thank you for listening.
