This is a wonderful practice, suitable for all levels, that connects us to the sensation of support and groundedness in the body. A form of body scan, this centering practice is great for everyday, one we can come back to whenever we want to reclaim our attention and recollect ourselves.
A useful tool in your mindfulness tool belt, sometimes just ten minutes is all it takes to come back to the here and now.
And remembering that while our minds enjoy the sensation of feeling settled, with this kind of grounding practise we offer them a break: as it is said:
We learn to rest the mind on the body as the body rests on the cushion.
