Autopilot Antidote Meditation

We live so much of our lives not noticing what's happening... on autopilot. ... following the same patterns and habits over and over again - in what we do but also what we think. Useful when we're loading the dishwasher or cleaning out the fish, but less helpful when those autopilot habits involve a mish-mash of negative thoughts that can grow into a sense of discomfort and unease that we can't quite work out what it is or why it's there.

This simple presence meditation helps break those automatic patterns by bringing us to the usuals: the body, the breath, sensations, whatever it takes to anchor us back in the here and now, back in the driving seat, back in some semblance of control!
