Module 1: The Invitation to Stillness

INTRO

We’re starting somewhere simple today, with your body instead of your mind. Get comfortable, and press play when you’re ready.

Summary

We started with the body instead of the mind because stillness isn’t about achieving some perfect quiet inside your head. It’s about making a little room and saying, I’m here, I’m available. We also talked about why we’re keeping a journal along the way. Not to write well. Just to pay attention

Next Steps

Next, head over to the Body-First Stillness practice. It’s a simple five-minute exercise you can come back to again and again.

Practice 1: Body-First Stillness

INTRO

Find a place where you can sit or stand without being interrupted for a few minutes. You can keep your eyes open and follow along, or close them once you know what’s coming. Either way is fine. When you’re ready, press play.

 

Summary

When you’re done, write one thing down before you close your journal. It doesn’t have to be meaningful. Just one thing. Come back to this practice as often as you’d like.
