Meditation | 2-Minutes Butterfly Meditation

We can use the following 2-minutes butterfly meditations practice [1] as the starting point to gain mindfulness.

Let's imagine that we are butterflies resting on a flower petal, swaying gently while the breeze lifts and lowers the flower. Our attention is the butterfly, and the petal is the breath. As we breathe, we feel the warm basking in the warm sunshine, smell the fragrant aroma of the flower, and enjoy the vibrant colors all around us.

​Remain calm and concentrated, relaxed and alert. If any distraction kicks in, try bringing attention back, remembering it's not a failure but a natural process of growth and development of powerful mental "muscle." Take a kind and curious attitude, as in a "loving grandmother mind," toward ourselves during the practices, who always love just as who we are, and we are perfect in her eye.
