Evergreen: a mindfulness exercise in steadiness (week 9)
Evergreen is this week’s urban bathing card. Its guiding theme is steadiness. The practice is meant to stay simple: a few quiet minutes, one clear observation, and a little room to remain with what is already present around you.
Week 9 — Evergreen
Theme: Steadiness
Prompt:
Spend a moment with an evergreen tree. Breathe with it in rhythm: 4 seconds inhale, 6 seconds exhale.
Reflections:
- What small things regularly calm and sustain me?
How to approach this practice
You do not need to add much more to this card than what it already suggests. A few minutes, a little presence, and a willingness to return to it later in the week are enough if you want to see whether it lands differently the second time.
