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.
Breathe - Breathing in conscious awareness.
Inhale in, exhale out.
You can silently say “Breathing In, I create space. Breathing out, I let go.”
Embody - Bring your attention to a physical sensation within the body.
Scan the top of the head, face, & neck for tension
Feel the heart beat
Bring attention to sensation of temperature, taste, sight, auditory how the body responds to a few mindful breaths.
Feel your soles on the ground
Invite - Allow all thoughts & emotions to be held in the container of your body/ego/emotions.Every sensation has a right to life.
Invite in these sensations into your awareness as if they were an old friend or perhaps your grandparent.
Treat your thoughts & emotions with hospitality & diligent kindness.
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.
Neutrality can be experienced through non-judgement.
Allowing a balanced sense of openness.
Welcome in even more presence and mindfulness.
Gratitude - Anchor your BEING in gratitude.
Gratitude can be felt in the heartspace and creates a forcefield of compassion around our beings.
When we practice gratitude our mind calms down, the body opens, & our emotions are soothed.
