Mindful Bodies are key to setting the stage for alert, yet relaxed and quiet attention for mindfulness practice. It is recommended that you prompt your students to transition to “Mindful Bodies” before each Bit of Mindfulness after learning what a Mindful Body looks and feels like.

All intentional mindfulness experiences can be practiced with eyes opened or closed. If open, welcome students to focus their gaze on the ground in front of them, removing outside environmental distractions.
