Guided Meditations
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the natural state of being fully present in the moment—allowing the mind and body to function at their best.
Through the gentle, flowing movements of LFA T’ai Chi, mindfulness becomes a form of moving meditation, engaging the senses and encouraging awareness without judgement.
Regular T’ai Chi practice can help improve:
- Focus and memory
- Mental clarity
- Energy levels
- Emotional resilience
- Compassion
- Immune health
- Sleep quality
- Healthy weight management
By calming the mind and strengthening overall wellbeing, mindfulness through T’ai Chi supports healthier ageing and a happier, more balanced life.
TRY THIS Simple Seated Breathing Exercise
- Sit on the floor or on a chair, cross your feet at the ankles with your left leg furthest away from you.
- Place the palms of both hands on your stomach just below your navel.
- Breathe in through the nose and allow your stomach to expand, this moves your stomach out of the way of the lower part of your lungs allowing your lungs to fully inflate.
- Breathe out through the mouth as you gently pull your stomach in, expelling all the air and toxins from your lungs.
- Repeat for up to 5 minutes.
Don’t rush your breath, take it nice and easy. Feel your stomach expand and contract.
Don’t try and empty your mind – this is extremely difficult to do and often causes frustration. Instead, recognise any thoughts that wander into your mind and keep returning your focus to the simple task of breathing.
