Episode notes
Use Breath And Body Scan To Settle
- Use the breath and body scan to settle into present-moment awareness and relax unconscious tension.
- Tara Brach guides softening the brow, jaw, shoulders, hands, chest, belly, hips, legs, and feet while breathing to dissolve tightness.
Widen Attention To Include Body And Sound
- Widening attention transforms experience by including bodily sensations and sounds alongside thoughts.
- Tara invites sensing the whole body as a field so background stillness emerges with changing foreground sensations.
Gently Reopen Attention When Thoughts Carry You
- When you notice being carried away by a thought, gently reopen attention without judgment and include sound and sensation.
- Tara emphasizes relaxing back into the awake space of awareness rather than pushing thoughts away.
