Mindfulness for Couples on Vacation
Here is a relaxing mindfulness practice you can do when on vacation with your partner.
Begin by asking your partner if he or she wants to do a mindfulness practice. Read this text together and do the steps below.
- Notice where you are and what time of day it is.
- Become aware of that you are doing a mindfulness practice together.
- Become aware of the two of you, of your existence at this place, in the present moment.
- Sense your body, the whole of your body.
- Try to sense your partners body.
- Become aware of your breath, follow the inbreath and the outbreath three times.
- Feel the air touching your face, perhaps you can feel a wind blowing.
- Extend your awareness to the air surrounding you and your partner.
- Sense the two of you connected by the air thats flows around you.
- Spend some time together in silence.

Great post! Definitely awesome to do on vacation, but also in everyday life if you can!
Many thanks indeed for positive input and for pointing out that this also can be done at home :) The idea with the uniwoman blog is to post articles about mindfulness for couples on a more or less regular basis. Will try to cover different settings and connecting to each other in everyday life is definitely important for a good relationship.
