Relax in the Garden

Breathing
Take 5 deep breaths or use 5 finger beathing:
1. Stretch out one hand so that you have space between your fingers.
2. Hold up your pointer finger from the other hand,
3. Start at the bottom of your thumb. Use your pointer finger to trace up your thumb as you slowly breathe in.
4. When you get to the top of your thumb, slowly breather out as you trace down the other side.
5. Repeat for all fingers until you have traced your whole hand.
Keep going until you feel more relaxed.

Be Still With A Leaf
Welcome to St Stephen’s churchyard.
Pick a leaf and trace around it with your eyes as slow as you can and allow your thoughts to slow down. You will need to pause and allow yourself time to notice what is going on inside you as you answer the following questions.
What drew you to that leaf?
What is your attention drawn to as you study it more?
If the leaf could talk, what would it say?
Relaxations
As you walk down the path we invite you to walk over one of the benches…
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)
As you pass the rubbish dump we invite you to pause and listen to this reflection……
This short meditation provides an opportunity to let go of your concerns, rest in the stillness and listen to Kari Jobe sing ‘Here”
Enjoy the long pauses and moments of silence…
