Meditate Awake

Where are you? Notice. Notice the ground beneath your feet. The walls or the space around you. Allow your eyes to blur a little and become aware of colors and shapes within your field of vision. And then focus your eyes and notice distinct objects; notice details. Become aware of a leaf on the ground or a mark on the wall and concentrate on it for a moment. Become aware of the textures you can feel against your skin. The sounds you can hear close to you, and further away. Notice how the space around you smells — subtle scents or stronger ones. Notice your breath. The gentle movement of your spine with each inhale and exhale. You are here. You are present. Notice.
