Landing

A short way back for when your attention has drifted far, or the day refuses to end. Find the ground first; meaning can wait.

1. 01

   Weight

   Feel the actual weight of your body on the chair or the floor. Notice the contact just as it is.

2. 02

   Hands

   Rub your palms together until they are warm. Rest them on your thighs, and leave them there.

3. 03

   Name

   Say it aloud if you can: “I am here. This is a room.” Let the story quiet down until only the room is left.

4. 04

   Drink

   Drink a glass of water. Then choose one ordinary task: wash a cup, or step outside for a moment. This teaches the body that it can always come back.
