CHAPTER

Embracing Sensory Experiences for Mindful Awareness

The chapter explores the practice of dropping into the body and immersing oneself in sensory experiences to shift away from overthinking and rumination. It discusses the impact of body scans in meditation on mindfulness and emotional regulation, highlighting the effects on the default mode network in the brain. Embracing uncertainty, radical acceptance, and sense foraging are discussed as tools to build tolerance for distress, accept change, and update one's self-concept through receptivity to sensory details.
