Points of Contact: a grounding meditation
Rest attention on where the body meets the seat and floor, on its weight, and on the breath moving it. Timed text cues appear on screen, with optional device narration.
Before you begin
Sit with both feet on the floor if you can, hands resting on your thighs or in your lap. After reading a cue, you may close your eyes and feel rather than look.
How it opens
Settle into your seat. Take two slower breaths, then let the breath find its own pace.
