Welcome.
This five minute informal practice is to check into how you're feeling in the present moment.
Acknowledging what is here.
Think of it as a scan of your internal weather,
What you are experiencing.
Noticing the physical sensations.
The state of the mind and any thoughts that are arising any emotions that are present.
These three realms of thought,
Emotion and feeling,
Provide a connection to your lived experience right now.
And it is a constant resource that is available during your practice.
Try incorporating this practice into your routine as best you can.
Do this by finding a quiet space.
Where you won't be disturbed or distracted.
This might mean turning off your phone,
Pausing,
Whatever you're doing.
And you can choose to either practice lying or sitting.
Finding a comfortable and balanced position that is relaxed,
Yet also not rigid.
Begin to close down your eyes.
Take a moment to appreciate yourself for giving this time and space,
Amidst all of the hustle and busyness of your daily demands.
Turning this generosity and kindness towards yourself and acknowledging this commitment that you are making.
Letting go of the resistance as you take time and space to care for yourself.
Now bring your full attention to the experiences of your body.
Noticing the sensations of the body as you check in scan the body from head to toe.
See if there's any residual tension that you might be carrying.
Where can you let go?
Now bring attention to your mind and any thoughts or emotions that you are aware of.
There's no need to judge or analyze to evaluate this experience.
The intention here is just to be with yourself fully.
Accepting whatever comes with resistance.
Continue directing your attention to the experience of your body,
Your mind,
And your emotions,
Becoming aware of the internal weather.
Now as your practice comes to a close,
Once again acknowledge that willingness to show up and be present for yourself.
Thank you so much for sharing your time.
Namaste.
