You were put here for a reason. Let’s continue the journey noticing life’s moments, and turn all your moments of the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Mindfulness moment 11. Sit by the fireplace.
Time to relax by the fireplace.
What colours can you see flickering in the flames of the fire? Can you see any blues? Are there different shades of each colour in the flames? Can you see any smoke or ash that are grey and white?
How often does the fire crackle? Can you count space between the crackles?
What does it smell like? How would you describe the smell to someone else?
Are you warm? Can you feel the warmth emanating from the fire?
Are you inside or outside? Can you roast a marshmallow or feel a breeze on your face?
If you don’t have a fireplace there are some fantastic candles that create a crackling fire sound. Light one of these, observe the candle light flickering and listen for the crackling sound. Can you describe what you see and hear?
Each moment brings a new possibility.
