TUZA
At the opening of each Mindfulness Ambassador Council meeting, participants take time to themselves for a 3-minute breathing practice called TUZA, from a Kinya-Rwandan term meaning ‘relax’. The intent of practicing TUZA is to focus our attention on following the breath, in and out, as a core skill to create space, pause and return to the present moment.
Anchor Breath
Returning to the breath, over and over again, anchors our attention in the present moment, like the anchor of a ship. Hence we call this practice the anchor breath because it can help to steady us in all conditions. For example, used during times of stress or in emotionally-charged circumstances, it may prevent us from just reacting to whatever challenging situations or feelings arise.
