Activity 1: The 3-minute breathing space
Step 1:
Learners find their own space in the room and close their eyes. The first minute is spent answering the question, ‘How am I doing right now?’ This is done in silence.
Step 2:
The second minute is spent keeping awareness of the breath.
Step 3:
The last minute is used to expand learners’ attention outward from the breath, feeling the ways in which one’s breathing affects the rest of one’s body.
