Focusing your attention on everyday tasks that would not normally demand your full attention — breathing, eating, preparing food, housework, shopping — paying attention to the sensations and the movements of the acts. Notice various sensations: airflow, balance and imbalance, shifting weight distribution, joint and muscle action, coordination (left-right, upper body-lower body).
Receptive: Perform the acts as you would normally and notice what happens.
Active: Do things more slowly and deliberately than you would normally, making them into rituals. Move in particular ways to activate different parts of your body (e.g. tai chi, qi gong)
What am I doing now?
Be present in your actions.
I am my actions — I am not my actions.
Gradually move your attention around your body or concentrate on particular parts of your body.
Receptive: Be aware of sensations in different parts of your body (tension, warmth, pressure, etc.)
Active: Seek to (tense and) relax each part of your body as you focus on it or concentrate on particular parts of your body (e.g. chakras, breathing)
What is my body telling me?
Be in your body
I am my body — I am not my body.
