Unfocused Body Awareness

Inspired by the book Restorative Embodiment and Resilience: A Guide to Disrupt Habits, Create Inner Peace, Deepen Relationships, and Feel Greater Presence by Alan Fogel. The initial training in many mindfulness meditations begins with focusing on an anchor, like your breath or your feet on the floor. Research shows that for some, focused attention is not so helpful for accessing felt experience and can have us try and concentrate and control and think to much about achieving something. This meditation guides a more free-floating kind of attention to the body.
