Episode notes
Use Body Relaxation To Anchor Presence
- Relax and wake up through the body as a way to arrive in presence.
- Tara Brach guides a progressive body scan from face to feet, softening the eyes, jaw, shoulders, heart, belly, pelvis, legs, and feet to access aliveness.
Sense The Dance Of Changing Sensations
- The body's changing sensations reveal the flow of experience: tingling, heat, tightness, and flow.
- Not opposing these sensations lets you discover balance amid constant change and notice breath within that landscape.
Pick A Sensory Home Base
- Choose a sensory home base like the breath, bodily sensations, or sounds to stabilize attention.
- Let that home base be foreground so you notice drifting sooner and can gently return to what's here.
