Do a sitting practice every day this week, choosing whether you want to do:
A Ten Minute Sitting Practice
A Twenty Minute Sitting Practice
A Thirty Minute Sitting Practice
If you don't have time for the longer practice you might choose to use a 3-step Breathing Space with a flavour of self compassion at times this week.
New Habits in Everyday Life.
When you can, use the 50:50 attention technique, Ten Finger Gratitude Practice, 3-Step Breathing Space, or be more aware of a routine activity in everyday life.
This week you are invited to identify a stretch of corridor, pavement or footpath that you walk each day and that takes no more than two minutes to walk along. Make this your [secret!] walking path and practise devoting attention to the soles of the feet and / or the movement or the feet and legs when you walk this stretch each day. When the mind wanders, gently escort it back. Use the sensations in the feet and legs as an anchor that connects you to the present moment.
