Found this practice helpful - it’s short (which my bipolar brain appreciates), easy to listen to and follow. Found these ideas especially helpful: Focus on breath OR on a physical sensation (ex: fingertips against clothing) Conscious slowness Practicing once an hour (especially useful because if I forget to practice when calm, I forget to apply the practice when stressed). Thank you!

So appreciated the level of sensitivity in this meditation, to where the edge of capacity lives in that moment and to give oneself permission for that to be ok. I had a profound insight into how I’ve been trained / socialized to give more importance to the outside stimuli - even if that’s the anchor. So, if I get uncomfortable I’ve learned then to prioritize the anchor over my own internal experience and so check out / dissociate / go into my head as an escape from the discomfort. This meditation was a wonderful invitation to spot that edge and to stab with my experience and prioritize that.

This opened up a gentle inroad to resistance that’s been a challenge for me.

Thank you for naming what has been happening in my body! I felt like I was the only one who felt this anxiety which wasn’t related to thoughts!

Beautifully laid out, helpful for those in actual demand for support, also helpful in a way of creating us a cushion of resilience, self-love, kindness and grace, to land on, when life presents a hard time. THANK YOU.

This micro practice is a great reminder that the safety cues are around us almost all the time, if we are there courageous to engage our senses. Thank you, Bhanu 🙏💫
