- The ego acts like a spacesuit self, a protective but isolating shell that disconnects us from our true nature.
- Mindfulness is a homecoming to our spirit and heart beyond the ego facade.
Easing Into Body Awareness
- Begin feeling sensations where easiest, like hands or feet, and expand awareness gradually with curiosity and kindness.
- Use muscle tightening or light touch to invite energy and sensation flow in the body.
Mindfully Meeting Discomfort
- When encountering unpleasant sensations, name them softly and be curious about their qualities without judgment.
- Use breath and a neutral home base to build presence before returning to discomfort.
