"When we bring our mind into our body,
the body becomes mindful,
and the mind becomes embodied."

- Donna Farhi

This week explore how to keep the body in mind when listening and speaking using the 50:50 attention technique.

Complete the Experiences Calendar: this week the calendar focuses on pleasant experiences. Make sure to bring awareness to at least one pleasant experience each day. Use this as an opportunity to become really aware of the sensations, feelings, thoughts and impulses that arise, at the time. Notice and record, in detail, the precise nature and location of bodily sensations and use the actual words or images in which the thoughts came.
