Right Side, Left Side (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this short body scan, you are invited to move your attention through the body one named part at a time, down the right side and then the left side. The invitation is to notice. There is nothing to relax or fix. You might find that some places are easy to find and others are harder to feel.
What You Are Trying to Hold? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this meditation, you are invited to notice what happens after you have sent a message and the result is no longer in your hands. You might see the mind reaching for control through checking, rereading, or trying to secure a response. The practice offers a way to do your part and leave the rest alone.
Leave the Gap Alone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A meeting ends early, you have a few minutes before the next thing, and you feel the pull to check one more thing. In this meditation, you are invited to look at that pull to fill a small gap with more input, and at what the gap actually holds. You might notice how quickly that desire arises, and that you can leave it unanswered.
Given or Taken (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this meditation, you are invited to think about a meeting that kept going after the scheduled end time, and about the minutes it took from people who never offered them. Asteya, non-stealing, usually is understood as leaving other people's physical property alone, though time and attention are easier to take and harder to notice taking. You might catch one moment today where you are about to spend a few minutes that were not given to you, and decide right then whether you need them.
What You Already Know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this meditation, you are invited to consider something you already know about yourself and usually look past. It might be a habit, or the way you sit when you are tired, or something you have noticed more than once and set aside. Satya, truthfulness, begins before speech, with a willingness to see what is actually happening. You might find that looking straight at one small thing is enough for today.
