For December’s BetterTogether@7, Miranda led a practice of ‘friendliness’ towards our experience for our 20 min 7am practice on the 1st day of the month. Moving gently through the body, we were invited to have a friendly attitude to each part of our body, breath and experience in the moment. Friendliness is a doorway to self compassion, and being able to be present to our experience with curiosity, instead of reactivity.

You might like to try bringing friendliness to the moments of your day, to your body, and even to your thoughts and emotions as they present themselves during this month.

“Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience.”

We wish you a friendly festive season and hope to see you next month at 7am on the 1st of January, ready to start the new year with freshness and stability.
