Hello,
Paschal Indy here.
Here's a short mindfulness practice designed to help us let go of thinking and come back to the present moment.
So first,
Finding a comfortable sitting,
Standing or lying position.
Closing your eyes or leaving your eyes open with a soft gaze.
And taking a nice long deep breath.
And now bringing your attention to whatever is supporting you.
The sensations of contact there,
Where your body touches the seat or the ground or whatever you're lying on.
What are you noticing there?
Maybe some pressure or weight.
Feeling of hardness or softness.
Temperature.
Places that feel warm or cool.
And maybe some subtle movements like tingling or pulsing.
Maybe itching or numbness.
And do sensations change or do they stay the same?
Your mind wanders away,
That's fine.
Simply inviting it to come back.
And now moving the attention to another point of contact.
Maybe where the hands or the feet rest perhaps.
What do you notice there?
Simply relaxing into feeling,
Knowing these sensations.
And if you wish you can continue,
Perhaps noticing different sensations at points of contact in your body during other times in your day.
Thanks for taking time to reconnect.
