Just Standing
Just stand tall and relaxed with a straight spine and slightly bent knees. This is to allow your body to breathe naturally with the abdomen and your mind to rest in the experience of breathing.

Just Walking 2

Just Eating 2
Intentionally chew a small amount of food and swallow it instead of eating automatically driven by urge. Leave your eating utensils on the table while chewing. Savor one breath after swallowing the food.
