You've heard the advice. Sit with it. Feel your feelings. Stay with it.
Every book says some version of it. Nobody tells you what that actually feels like when it's you, on the spot, in the middle of it.
So here it is.
Thirty seconds
Thirty seconds. Wherever you are.
Feel your feet on the floor.
Now notice what's actually going on in you. Don't fix it. Just notice.
Find one true sentence about it.
That's the practice. That's all of it.
The four steps
Arrive. Notice. Feel. Choose.
Arrive: come into the room and into your body with awareness.
Notice: feel what is actually going on inside with presence.
Feel: feel safe staying with the sensations and feelings instead of overriding it.
Choose: from there, you choose how you wish to feel, and practice being in a new calm state.
You can do the thirty seconds alone in your kitchen. In the practice, we do it together, guided, for ninety minutes.
What it looks like
None of it looks like much from the outside. You lie on a mat. I guide you. That's it. No poses, no having to be perfect.
But staying is a skill. And like any skill, it's practised. Weekly, on purpose, until the body learns a new default.
Stay with what you feel until staying becomes the new default.
Then what happens from there.
