A summary is below.
Finding the Homebase in our Bodies: Our minds are often drawn to what is most unpleasant in each aspect of the present moment. After we notice, acknowledge and breath with some part of the body that is tight, tense or in discomfort, we can also notice another part of the body that contains more ease than that part--perhaps even noticing a part of the body that is most pleasant or most comfortable right now. We can hold our attention there and use it as a home-base, returning to it at times we might need to re-group and withdraw our attention from another aspect of the body or from a traumatic memory. We can notice how the sensations in this part of the body shift and change moment to moment, noticing aliveness, vitality in the body. Alternatively, you may find the most ease and comfort in listening to sounds, and that is an option as well.
