To do this we've created the Moment Method a unique set of guides and resources that, used with your Moment Pebble, help you take short, regular breaks (or Moments as we like to call them) throughout your busy day. 4 5 This guide introduces you to the Moment Method what it is, how it works, and how to track your progress. Central to the Moment Method is the Pebble. This light-led device visually guides you through powerful, stress-reducing breathing exercises. But more than that, it has the ability to create longlasting behavioural change giving you a better understanding of how your mind works, and therefore more control of your mental wellbeing. 6 The Moment Method includes techniques suitable for all ages and levels of mindfulness experience and we're here to support your development through a library of content accessible through our website and social channels. 7 We are Alex, Fiona and Charlie - the people behind Moment Company. The idea for Moments was born out of our own mental wellbeing journeys. And it's our first-hand experience of the physical and emotional impact of stress, anxiety, and burnout that continues to drive us. When we couldn't find a mental wellbeing solution that enabled us to take short breaks away from our phones, we created one. You can say hi to us on Instagram and Facebook @momentcompany.co. Or email us at hello@momentcompany.co. We love hearing from you. 8 MOMENT CONTENTS 12 GETTING STARTED 16 SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH STRESS? 20 THE MOMENT SOLUTION 24 HOW A PEBBLE MOMENT WORKS 26 YOUR MOMENT EXPERIENCE 28 YOUR FIRST MOMENT 30 THE MOMENT METHOD 32 READY FOR MORE MOMENTS? 42 TECHNICAL BITS 46 DISCLAIMER & WARRANTY 10 All of our Pebbles are hand finished. As a result, Pebbles will have subtle variations in marbling from one to the next. Your pebble is one of a kind and unique to you. 11 GETTING STARTED There are a couple of setup bits to do before you get started. Firstly, the Moment Pebble may need charging. In the box you will find: Moment Pebble 12 Charging stone Charging cable This Moment booklet We suggest the best place to keep your charging stone is the spot where you can see it and where you feel you will need it most. For example, this may be on your desk, in the kitchen or on your bedside table. 13 PEBBLE SETUP Plug the USB cable into a wall plug. Connect the other end to the charging stone (once connected to power you'll see a blue light on the stone). Place Pebble onto charging stone. It's normal for the pebble to warm up slightly. After about 5 mins you'll see a soft light beating to show it's charging. Approx 1.5 hours to full charge. 14 CHARGING MODES CHARGING A single white light pulsing inside the pebble indicates the pebble is charging. FULLY CHARGED A constant white light (no longer pulsing) means the pebble has fully charged. LOW BATTERY A small red light inside the pebble signifies that it's running low. Place it back on the charging stone to recharge. BATTERY LIFE The Moment Pebble will, on average, last 2 -3 weeks before needing to be re-charged. 15 SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH STRESS? Stress and anxiety are fuelled by the always-on, ever-increasing pace of today's connected world - and the negative impact on us is HUGE. But don't just take our word for it. The American Medical Association has noted that stress is the basic cause for more than 60% of all human illnesses and diseases. 16 Body STRESS Headaches Fatigue Skin irritations Chest pain Stomach upset Frequent Infections Indecision Foggy thinking Negativity Bad decisions Depression Victim mindset Emotions Irritability Insecurity Fear Overwhelment Apathy Loneliness Insomnia Detachment Conflict Loss of appetite Addictions Restlessness Mind Behaviour STRESS SIGNALS Do you know what to look out for? Our bodies give us clever warning signs to help us recognise when we're feeling stressed or anxious before the symptoms take over and really impact our health. The key is knowing what our individual stress signals are so that we can take action quickly. 18 What do you first notice when you're under stress? A lump in your throat, a feeling in your stomach, a quickening of your breath, tension in the forehead or perhaps a tightness in the chest? Or is it something different? Once you recognise your own stress signals, you have the opportunity to take early action. This is where Moments come in. 19 THE MOMENT SOLUTION A Moment is a short pause (as little as 30 seconds) to focus on your breath. It's a form of mindfulness, an evidenced-based solution to counter the impact of stress. Taking a Moment interrupts stress signals, allowing your mind and body to take a rest and re-balance your nervous system. As soon as you start to notice your stress signals, it's a good time to take a Moment. 20 State of mind MOMENT Calm positive perspective Calming Pause Stress MOMENT Calm EVERY MOMENT COUNTS Taken regularly, Moments can reduce the severity of your stress symptoms and the amount of time your body is under stress. Evidence shows that the benefits of brief daily mediative practices increase with frequency, the more you do, the more your wellbeing will improve.* On average we pick our phones 80 times a day, if just a few times out of these we picked up a pebble instead, we would significantly improve our mental wellbeing. *momentcompany.co/momentmethod 22 STRESS A lot REMOVED STRESS A little 7am Moment Moment Moment TIME 9pm Without Moment With Removed Moment stress 23 HOW A PEBBLE MOMENT WORKS The Pebble's light sequence follows Cardiac Coherence Breathing, a proven breathing pattern that brings your nervous system into balance by stimulating the vagus nerve. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, resetting many of the negative impacts of stress. This includes calming heart rate, reducing blood pressure, boosting digestive health, and improving sleep quality. 24 1. Gently focus your eyes on the Pebble 2. Tap it 3 times to begin 3. Inhale as the glow increases (5 seconds) 4. Exhale as the glow decreases (5 seconds) 5. Continue steps 3 and 4 for three more breaths (there are 4 in total) 6. Your Moment is complete The sequence restarts after 5 seconds. You can continue your moment, or tap the Pebble 3 times to finish. After 5 loops of the sequence the pebble switches itself off. 25 YOUR MOMENT EXPERIENCE Here are a few helpful things to know before you take your first Moment · You can't get it wrong! · Much like trying anything for the first time, if you're new to taking Moments it might take a little bit of getting used to. This is completely normal, don't worry. It will become second nature to you in no time allowing you to experience your Moments more deeply. 26 · We suggest approaching this with a sense of curiosity. Simply notice how you feel. · Take as many moments throughout the day as you like. There's no right amount of times to practise. Follow the steps on the next page to take your first Moment. 27 YOUR FIRST MOMENT Use this simple script to guide you through your first Moment. Alternatively you can follow our guided YouTube video at: momentcompany.co/momentmethod 1. This time is for you. Find a quiet space where you won't be interrupted for a few minutes. 2. Make yourself comfortable with this guide and keep your Moment Pebble in reach. 28 3. To settle into this space, take a nice long, deep breath in - and then relax the muscles in your body as you let the breath out. 4. When you are ready, tap the pebble 3 times to begin the Moment sequence. At the start you may like to count the 5 seconds in and out or simply breathe with the light. 5. Then on each out breath, think about letting any stress and tension flow out of your body along with your breath. 6. At the end of 4 breaths, tap the pebble to turn it off or continue with the Moment as the light increases again. How do you feel now? 29 THE MOMENT METHOD To help you develop your positive wellbeing practice we've created the Moment Method a unique set of guides and resources to use with your Pebble. 30 Simply scan the QR code below to access the Moment Method.

Once you're comfortable with the first light-led breathing exercise, you might want to explore adding different elements into your Moments. We've included ideas for you to try on the following pages. You can also access our library of Moments here: momentcompany.co/momentmethod 32 Our guided scripts will give you the support and confidence to try new ways to take a Moment and to fit them around your day and mood. When you first try anything new it can feel uncomfortable; a lot to learn at once. This is completely normal. Our suggestion is to simply give it a go. There is no right or wrong. Be open, be curious and see what you notice when you try new methods. This is a key step in developing your Moment abilities. 33 SMILING MOMENT Did you know when we smile we activate a flood of feel good chemicals in our brain? Dopamine, endorphins and serotonin naturally relax our minds, our bodies, and lower our heart rate. SET UP Relax your eyes and apply a soft focus to the Pebble. Notice how you are feeling today. Activate your Pebble. Bring your attention to your breath and follow the light pattern. 34 MOMENT Smile. It's that simple. As you breathe in and out through your nose bring a gentle smile to your face. A smile is such a simple and powerful way to spread happiness in the world, and to ourselves. As you continue to smile while watching the light pulse, know that you are creating positive chemical changes within your body. Recognise you have this power. As you come to the end of your Moment, hold onto the positive feeling your smile has created. Make the decision that you are going to smile more and frown less today; for yourself and for the benefit of everyone in your life. 35 HEARTFELT MOMENT SETUP Place or hold the Moment Pebble in front of you. Put one hand on your heart and focus on breathing directly into this space inside of you. Tap your Pebble to activate. MOMENT As you begin to inhale and exhale into your heartspace, use the fingertips of that same hand to gently tap on the centre point of your chest (level with your heart) at a slow comfortable pace - like a heartbeat. 36 Continue to breathe and tap along with the light sequence, bringing your awareness to the feelings inside of you. Feel free to close your eyes if it helps you focus. Allow every inhale to create space within your chest and allow yourself to soften with every exhale. As you come to the end of your Moment, exhale any and all feelings that you're ready to let go of. This moment has now come to a close. Contributor: Joanne Bradford | w: motherheart.co | Insta: @motherheart 37 COLOURFUL MOMENT SETUP Relax your eyes and apply a soft focus to the pebble. Take a slow deep breath in through your nose to the count of 5 and out through your nose to a count of 5. MOMENT As you breathe in gently close your eyes. Take another round of breath with your eyes remaining shut. Now that you are relaxed think of a colour - the first colour that comes to mind. Perhaps you see a block of colour behind your eyes, a vivid object or simply think of your favourite colour. Hold this in your thoughts as you take 2 more rounds of breath to finish your Moment. Throughout your day notice how many times you see that colour. It could be in clothing, food, in nature - anywhere! Recognise it and appreciate it. This is the practise of mindfulness. This is also an easy and engaging way to introduce mindfulness to children. Encourage them to choose a colour when out on a walk and see how excited they get as they become more aware of colours and objects in their surroundings. 39 YOU'RE ALL SET! You have what you need to start your Moment practice. To take another leap forward you now also have access to the Moment Method, to help bring moments into your day-to-day.
