Mindful Observation
This exercise is simple but incredibly powerful. It is designed to connect us with the beauty of the natural environment, something that is easily missed when we are rushing from place to place or from task to another.
Choose an object from within your environment and focus on watching it for a minute or two. This could be a beautiful item, flower or an insect, or even the clouds on the sky.
Don’t do anything except notice the thing you are looking at. Simply relax into a harmony for as long as your concentration allows. Look at it as if you are seeing it for the first time. Visually explore every aspect of its formation. Allow yourself to be consumed by its presence.
If you do this is as a group, you can share feelings after the exercise.

Mindful Awareness
This exercise is designed to wake up awareness and appreciation of simple daily tasks and the results they achieve.
Think of something that happens every day for example the moment , when you come to your work desk and open your computer to start work. Note every movement you do and take a moment to appreciate the hands that enable this process and the brain that make you understand how to use the computer.
Choose a thing that comes to your mind just today. Instead of going through your daily motions on autopilot, take occasional moments to stop and cultivate purposeful awareness of what you are doing and what it brings your life.

Mindful Listening
This exercise is designed to open your ears to sound in a non-judgmental way. When we listen mindfully, we achieve a neutral, present awareness that lets us hear sound without preconception.
It is good to select a music you have never heard before. Close your eyes and put on your headphones. Try do this so, that you don´t know genre, title or artist name before it has begun playing. Ignore any labels in your mind and neutrally allow yourself to go to the journey of sound for the duration of the song. Allow yourself to explore every aspect of track. Even if the music isn’t to your liking at first, let go of your dislike and give your awareness full permission. You can move or dance, if it helps you to go to the music or if you feel so.
The idea is to just listen, to become fully inside to the music without preconception or judgment of the genre, artist, lyrics or instrumentation.
You can use here also other sounds for example nature sounds, traffic, circus etc. Important is to concentration to the sounds and voices.
