What calms or comes up when you pause to hear your body?

Sensations in the body come and go, often for a reason. If you feel your chest expanding, you might be taking in breath. If your stomach feels tight, you might be tense.

In this practice, you can rest your brain for seven minutes and give your body a chance to do the talking. You might feel sensations you’ve never felt before, or the same old discomfort might come up. Can you stay with that feeling for just a moment, watching it ebb and flow?

Come back to this practice when you’re feeling aches and pains, or find yourself caught in worry. Over time, it can retrain your attention; you can learn to tap into the wisdom of your body.
