PAUSE
Bring your awareness to feeling each of your next three breaths
"For the first time since 1982, a supermoon and lunar eclipse are scheduled to coincide Sunday night. The full moon will appear slightly larger than usual as it reaches the closest point to the Earth in its elliptical orbit (hence the term “supermoon”), and in conjunction it will arrive directly opposite the sun with the Earth in the middle, for a total lunar eclipse. These two events won’t happen in tandem again until 2033.
The supermoon eclipse will be visible to the naked eye from North and South America, Europe, Africa and parts of West Asia and the eastern Pacific,according to NASA. The total eclipse is scheduled to begin at 10:11 p.m. EDT, hit its peak at 10:47 p.m. and end at 11:23 p.m., and will be bookended by phases of partial eclipse."

As some of you may know, one of my favourite mindfulness practices is moon-watching.
Because of the potential novel and extra-ordinary nature of the moon tonight, it may not be too difficult to direct your visual attention to the moon.
If you are interested in blending a formal mindfulness practice into the experience of watching the moon, then consider pausing for a few minutes to bring curious attention to the subtle visual changes,
and to notice whatever thoughts, emotions, and body sensations are present and perhaps to feel some gratitude.
Enjoy your Evening
