This week’s mindful moment is beautifully simple and instantly energising: reach your arms to the sky. Whether you’re sitting, standing, or even lying in bed, pause and stretch your arms overhead. Open your palms, lengthen through your sides, and feel your fingers reaching tall. Inhale deeply as you stretch, and exhale as you slowly release. This gentle movement not only opens your body but also invites a sense of expansion and presence. It’s a reminder that you’re here, awake, and grounded—claiming space in your day, one breath at a time.

Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.
