Today will be our last day
watching the space
between the
words………
Tomorrow we will begin working
with a technique called “naming”.
- Begin
as always by taking time to settle into your seat – physically and
emotionally. Sometime a few strong, even out-loud exhales can help
with this.
- Root
down with your sit bones and tailbone and wriggle yourself into your
perfect alignment – spine aligned over tailbone, back of the shoulders
spread wide so the heart is lifted, and back of the head drawn back over
the spine
- Relax
the scalp and visualize the crown of the head opening, with the sky at the
crown of the head; a sense of spaciousness
- Sit
with the quiet and the breath
- As
things move into your awareness – name them with just a single word
- “breathing”,
“breathing”, “hearing”, “anxious”, “cold”, “asleep foot”, “happy”,
“quiet”, “belly rising”, “belly falling”, “hungry”, “car”…..and so on
- You
are not looking for things to name; Just as something moves into
your awareness – name it
- Let
there be space between the naming
- And
just a label – not “I am thinking”, simply “thinking”
- Once
you have named it, let it go
- Learning to be aware of this moment

day is it?"
