February 11 … Sinking into Here&Now

This morning, lie comfortably on the floor, breathing slowly and deeply for a few minutes.  While doing so, breathe from your stomach, allowing it to gently rise and fall.  Slowly close your eyes and sink consciously into the floor beneath you.  Once you’ve “sunk” as deep as you can, remain there for forty seconds and then slowly “return”.  Open your eyes, pause for a moment, and then slowly stand … Perform this exercise four (4) more times today (e.g. mid-morning, at lunchtime, mid-afternoon, and before going to bed).

Bonus Activity:  When at your “deepest place” in the exercise, use the forty seconds there to engage in visualizations of Gratitude (for your Life’s past & current Blessings) and visions of Willingness (i.e. See ways you can Serve others today &/or in the near future).
