- Step 1 (Awareness): Close your eyes. Ask yourself, "What is my experience right now?" Notice your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations without changing them.
- Step 2 (Gathering): Redirect your attention gently to your breath. Focus on the physical sensations of inhaling and exhaling.
- Step 3 (Expanding): Expand your awareness from your breath to your whole body. Feel your body, feel the energy flow through your body, the skin, feel your posture and facial muscles and expression.
This can help to break the momentum of automatic, busy routines.
