Here & Now Stone

Here and Now Stone is a brief mindfulness and savouring practice from the Mindful Self-Compassion program.

In this exercise, you’ll need a simple stone or rock and will engage the senses of sight and touch, allowing yourself to be fully absorbed in the experience with appreciation. By relating to the stone in this way, you’ll have a direct experience of the present moment—a grounding and immediate way to reconnect with the here and now. You may even notice the subtle difference between the felt quality of being present vs being lost in thought, and discover the richness and quiet joy available in the present moment.
