I invite you to some minutes of acknowledging attentive perception.
This is the basis to work with introversion in order to address inner conflicts,
Dealing with stress and situations of unease.
So what is acknowledging attentive perception?
It is a way of perceiving in a wide open non-judgmental way from moment to moment,
Not sticking to events that occur in your space of perception.
And during this exercise we will move through different modes of perception and in order to do that I invite you to take a stable position.
One could say sit mountain-like so that your breath can flow freely.
Before we move to the experience of perception I'd like to contemplate that you contemplate a question,
What keeps me in this very moment from feeling well,
From feeling good all around?
And maybe some things come up,
Maybe they don't.
And if something is coming up,
Imagine you put it in a little parcel,
In a little packet,
Put on a title and store it somewhere where these parcels are secure and you can be sure that it will address them at a later time.
So what keeps me in this very moment from feeling good all around?
If something comes up that has a strong emotional response,
Maybe it's easier to put it in a parcel,
In a packet,
When you put a date on this packet,
When you want to address this issue at a later time,
Where you can be sure that you don't forget it.
So what keeps me in this very moment from feeling good all around?
So maybe some things came up and you stored them at a safe location.
Maybe you already have a wide way of looking at this very moment.
And I invite you for the next minutes to listen what's happening around you,
What's happening on this recording,
The ambient noises,
And to perceive the events in an acknowledging way,
In an accepting way.
Yes,
At this very moment reality presents itself in that way,
In an attentive way,
Not sticking to events for a longer time,
Just being curious,
Curious what is there at this very moment.
And moving on from moment to moment,
What is there to be heard?
And maybe during these two minutes you can experience also being wide and open for the things that occur and can be heard.
There's nothing to be done at this very moment,
Just listen.
What sounds and noises present themselves to you in this very moment?
And whatever is there to be perceived,
Maybe you can address it with a mindset.
It's okay,
It's the way it is at this very moment,
Not distinguishing between good and bad noises,
Sounds.
Just being curious at this very moment and open.
And for the next two minutes I invite you to widen your field of perception.
So perceiving not only sounds but also noticing in this acknowledging,
Attentive way what bodily sensations there are at this very moment.
Maybe also noticing your breath without manipulating anything,
Just listening,
Noticing in an open,
Wide,
Nonjudgmental way from moment to moment.
Say something in the name of the word,
Something really shocking.
Acknowledging and accepting your perceptions as they are and staying attentive and present from moment to moment.
And to wrap up these minutes have a inner look what maybe changed or stayed the same since the start of these minutes you took for yourself.
And maybe deciding whether you want to bring this way of perceiving a little bit into the next minutes and maybe hours of your day.
