When is the last time you checked in with your body, your incredible physical structure? I invite you to do that now. It will take but a few minutes.

While seated, plant your feet firmly on the ground or floor. Relax your hands on your lap. Take a big, deep breath in and an equal breath out for centering. Now breathe as you normally would while sitting in your stillness. Let the noises near you be part of your experience, without resisting what’s going on around you. Feel your body from the inside out. Perhaps closing your eyes will assist this part of your experience. Let your thoughts go to your aliveness. What do you feel from the inside of your body – your lips, your feet, your hands? Pick specific parts of your body and feel how alive you are!

You just made a nice connection to your inner body. You experienced awareness, consciousness.

How did it feel to “check in”? Did your body enjoy this slight space of aliveness? What are you wanting now?

This is a great way to take a quick break in life during your day-to-day activities. You can do this anywhere at any time. And it’s totally free! This exercise takes your attention away from your busy thinking mind and opens up your consciousness. It also allows all of your inner body “systems” to receive a little attention and beyond that, a little appreciation. These tiny breaks can transform your life, if you take the time for them as often as you can. For “now” is really all you “have.”

“We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us
to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.”
