I want to invite you to try.
A very simple,
Very tiny practice.
With me.
For one day.
And see.
What happens.
For me what happens is.
.
.
I'm coming back to the present moment.
Over and over again and there is so much joy in the everyday.
Simple things.
And suddenly life is filled with.
So much fulfillment.
Peace even though nothing has changed.
And the practice is very.
.
.
Simple.
It's something we can do anywhere.
At any time.
We don't need anything for that.
And it's simply into your heart.
Over and over again as often as we can throughout this one day.
Bringing our attention consciously.
Bye.
Inward.
To how you're feeling in that moment.
And maybe the best anchor is to feel.
Our breath.
In the body.
Now before I explain a little bit more how we're going to do it,
If you want to.
I want to explain why,
For me at least,
It feels so.
.
.
Transformative,
This very simple practice.
That sounds so easy.
It's like well just focus on our breath,
Just bringing our awareness,
Our attention inward Easy.
And now maybe.
We're going to find that often it's not.
That easy.
We live in a world where we are so conditioned to be constantly pulled into the external.
We're all the time with our attention in the external and all the time in our thoughts.
And we so rarely even notice.
That almost all of our attention is in our thoughts.
And those thoughts most of the time are about something of the past.
Memory.
Something of the future that hasn't even happened yet.
There is no point even in thinking about it.
So we've been so conditioned.
To it.
Be lost in the world,
To be lost in our thoughts.
In this practice.
It's so beautiful and so simple.
Because we're reclaiming our attention through it.
So as many times as we remember.
Throughout that one day.
We stop internally for a moment.
And see what is inward.
It's almost like turning our eyes inward.
Maybe we're in the car in the moment or.
.
.
Walking to the supermarket,
Cleaning the dishes.
Waiting in line.
And we can see how our thoughts are actually right now.
Thinking about the next moment or what happened last week.
And this practice is that we consciously reclaim our attention.
That got lost up here which nothing is wrong with that ever right nothing is wrong with you ever you cannot Get it.
And we can choose.
It's just a choice.
It's a can.
To bring our attention inward.
Maybe to the breath.
And to get really curious around it,
How does my breath feel?
Feel in my body.
Right now,
Maybe in my belly,
Maybe in my chest,
Maybe I feel it in my nose.
Into the mind that is so boring.
Because to our overactive mind,
There is nothing it can think about,
Nothing it can grasp.
Nothing to endlessly chew on.
Because the breath is the breath,
It's a sensation in the body.
And that is the beauty of it and why it's probably one of the most ancient practices.
Because the breath is always.
And there's nothing to think about.
So we claim our awareness,
Our attention,
And bring it back.
In tune.
Into reality.
And maybe we can even get curious what is happening inside of us.
Maybe an emotion,
Maybe another physical sensation,
Maybe what thoughts are going on in my head.
Instead of following them or believing their thoughts.
Or even suppressing them.
Noticing.
Just letting it be okay.
Now this practice can get very challenging when we're with other people.
Because when we're with other people,
Our attention is so pulled outside of us.
And it can almost feel very unsafe.
To turn our attention.
Inward.
Maybe you just turn like 70-80% of your attention inward,
Just for one moment,
For one breath.
When you remember while you're talking to your parents or you're talking to the colleague or the friend or maybe you're even in the middle of a difficult conversation.
That is probably one of the most.
Challenging moments.
To remember.
Practice.
And let's see what happens.
We dedicate ourselves to that for one day.
For one day is saying,
Okay,
Let me try to remember this as often as I can.
Throughout the day.
Whenever I'm going somewhere.
Or meeting somebody.
See how often I can just for one moment come back,
Turn my attention.
Inward,
Maybe feeling the breath,
Maybe seeing what emotion is there,
What thoughts are there.
And if you remember every five minutes,
That's perfect.
And if you remember only one time,
The whole day.
That is awesome.
Perfect.
Nothing could be ever wrong.
And I told you what to shiv.
For me when I practice this.
I would absolutely love to hear from you.
What shifts for you?
What happens for you?
When you try that,
Maybe for a day.
Maybe for a week.
Maybe you are already practicing this.
What happens?
