FINDING
YOUR FOCUS
·
Start by sitting comfortably, you can either
close your eyes or rest them on a point on the floor in front of you.
·
Take a few minutes to just pause, let go
of your day.
·
See if you can find a posture of
dignity. Sit in a relaxed position while
still being alert
·
Now just notice that you are sitting. Notice the sounds in the room. Just listen.
This is an easy way to come into the present moment.
·
You don’t have to do anything special, or
force anything, just settle. Notice the
tic of the clock, the movement of a chair, the noise drifting in from other
areas.
·
If your mind wanders to the past, worries
about the future, or other things, no problem.
That’s what the mind does. Simply
come back to this room, and the sounds you hear right now.
·
Our minds are naturally so busy, running
around, bumping into things, just like a little puppy. No need to be upset, just gently bring your
mind back to this room.
·
If you get distracted, don’t worry. It’s not a problem. Just gently come back, notice again the
sounds of the room.
·
As you listen to the music that follows,
let it be a doorway for you to focus on this present moment. Notice how you respond to the music
emotionally. Does it bring up specific
feelings or thoughts? If so, just notice
the thoughts or feelings, and then let them drift away.
·
Notice any changes in your body – changes
in your breathing, any tightness anywhere, any change in your body’s
temperature, anything at all. Just
notice, and then bring your attention back to the music.
·
Let the music help you become aware of
where you focus your attention.
