I am Sue Weston and the Initiator of Relaxing The Mind activities. My long and continuing study and practice of T’ai-Chi, Qigong, therapeutic massage and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) all have their source in my beginnings as a dancer and choreographer. A life-long interest in the relationship between the physical body and our emotional and thinking self inspires me to search for practical philosophies that offer ways to live happily, healthily and fearlessly.

The Ten Second Meditation
Yes, 10 seconds! So no excuse for not having a short break from time to time to release the pressures and tensions that can build up during the day.
Are you ready to try it?
-
Take a deep breath - relax your lower belly and allow that to get bigger as you breathe in. Take your shoulders forward and up to your ears - soften your mouth, like a baby's mouth. Then breathe out gently and fully letting the shoulders utterly release downwards and at the same time consciously letting go of tensions, worries and plans.
