Awareness of connection
Notice what’s holding you up — the floor, the chair, your sheets.
How
Focus on where your body touches something. Consider what it does for you — the ground holds you up, the chair supports your back, the walls keep out the cold. Stay with that until a sense of being held or cared for comes.
Other awareness practices
- Awareness of your body’s position and why you’re in it.
- Make tea or coffee slowly, aware of each movement.
- Wash dishes as if each bowl matters.
- A slow-motion bath.
