Hand on heart exercise
Take a deep breath in. On the exhale, place your right hand over your heart and your left hand on top.
Next, breathing normally, notice:
- The sensation of your hands on your heart.
- The warmth flowing from your hands on your chest.
- The gentle pressure.
Keeping your hands in place, send warmth, caring, and compassion into your chest. Spend a few more minutes here. There is no hurry and no limit to the amount of compassion you can send and receive. Practice compassion through this exercise whenever or wherever you are, including at work.
