Read these words very very slowly
Become aware of the act of ‘reading’
there is you the observer and the page or screen with words
and your mind making sense of it all
Become aware of your body now AS you read the words
and that you are sitting in an environment
as you read these words open yourself to the entire present moment
breath gently – become aware of your stomach rise and fall
feel the weight of your body on the chair
Listen to sounds in the background – even the silence
Feel the ‘space’ in the room
Become aware of light and shade, colours, textures
Feel it all happening NOW
Even if you are thinking about past or future realise that that thinking
is happening NOW
After you read this exercise stay in the moment for a while
Wait, just be with whatever is happening right now
Don’t judge any of it – just experience it – be open to it..
