ADVICE

Relax The Body To Anchor Presence

  • Soften your face and breathe slowly to invite nervous-system relaxation and presence.
  • Relax the jaw, drop the shoulders, and intentionally feel sensations to increase embodied awareness.
ADVICE

Use Counted Breaths To Find Presence

  • Breathe deliberately with a 5-count in and out to cultivate focused presence.
  • Then let the breath return to its natural rhythm while noticing the quality of presence.
ADVICE

Scan Into The Body With Gentle Attention

  • Scan the body outward from brow to feet, inviting awareness into each area with gentle attention.
  • Sense the aliveness in hands, chest, belly, pelvis, and feet to widen embodied presence.
