    Raisin Meditation

    Stress illustration

    A classic mindfulness exercise: explore a single raisin (or any small piece of food) with all five senses, as if encountering it for the first time.

    Why it works

    Developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn — slow, sensory attention to one tiny object trains the mind to step out of autopilot and into the present moment.

    ✋

    HOLD — Place a raisin in your palm. Feel its weight, temperature, and texture. Pretend you've never seen one before.

    Take your time. There are no wrong answers.
