Episode notes
Scan The Body To Wake Inner Presence
- Relax and scan the body from the eyes down to the Dan Tian to cultivate embodied presence.
- Tara Brach guides softening the eyes, jaw, shoulders, hands, chest, and belly with attention to sensations and aliveness in each area.
Sense The Space That Sensations Arise From
- Sensations arise within a space; noticing that space reveals the field in which aliveness unfolds.
- Brach invites sensing the interior space behind heart and belly sensations, calling attention to the 'space it's arising from.'
Ground Through The Pelvis And Feet
- Receive pelvic and lower-body sensations with openness and allow awareness to sense the earth beneath you.
- Brach directs receptivity to pelvis, legs, and feet, framing the body as part of a 'living earth' field of sensation.
