BEING

BEING is a mindfulness technique that can be an anchor for you when limiting beliefs, negative emotions, or pesky fears arise. We are souls within a human incarnation. The soul knows limitless love, yet our human bodies are susceptible to imperfection. Integration is the subtle knowing of the paradoxical nature of our limitless form within a human body that has a multitude of needs & expressions. Who are you beyond the suffering? Simply return to BEING.

1. Breathe - Breathing in conscious awareness. 

   1. Inhale in, exhale out.

   2. You can silently say  “Breathing In, I create space. Breathing out, I let go.”

2. Embody - Bring your attention to a physical sensation within the body. 

   1. Scan the top of the head, face, & neck for tension

   2. Feel the heart beat

   3. Bring attention to sensation of temperature, taste, sight, auditory  how the body responds to a few mindful breaths.

   4. Feel your soles on the ground

3. Invite - Allow all thoughts & emotions to be held in the container of your body/ego/emotions.Every sensation has a right to life. 

   1. Invite in these sensations into your awareness as if they were an old friend or perhaps your grandparent. 

   2. Treat your thoughts & emotions with hospitality & diligent kindness.

4. Neutralize - Our minds tend to automatically categorize our experience into dichotomies. Good Vs Bad. Hot Vs. Cold. Neutralize is to counterbalance any negative/adverse sensations. 

   1. Neutrality can be experienced through non-judgement.

   2. Allowing a balanced sense of openness.

   3. Welcome in even more presence and mindfulness.

5. Gratitude - Anchor your BEING in gratitude.

   1.  Gratitude can be felt in the heartspace and creates a forcefield of compassion around our beings. 

   2. When we practice gratitude our mind calms down, the body opens, & our emotions are soothed.
