MINDFULNESS MONDAY
Practice mindfulness through your breath........
Breathe deeply into your belly & use your breath to calm both your body & mind. Practice mindful breathing by putting your right hand on your belly & your left hand on your chest, feeling the gentle rise & fall of your breath. Count to 3 as you inhale, then count to 3 again as you exhale.

Artwork will be donated to Baltimore Hunger Project whose mission is: Baltimore Hunger Project is dedicated to eliminating the growing problem of weekend childhood hunger by feeding bodies and minds.
