Now that the 2024 election has passed, our anxiety and fear have not abated. The stakes for many of us remain very high and we feel the coming danger acutely. As we move into the next phase of organizing together to survive, it is important to remember to care for ourselves and each other. With gratitude to Rev. Laura Solomon for her work on some of these materials, we offer a simple daily practice to help regulate our nervous systems and stay grounded in our faith and values.
November 6, 2024: Body Practice
Take a comfortable breath and sit or lay in a way that feels comfortable to your body. After your body focuses and settles, draw your attention to:
Something you can hear.
Something you can see.
Something you can smell.
Something you can feel.
Something you can taste.
Don’t worry if one or more of these senses aren’t accessible to you – move your attention to what you notice. Can you go through the list, mindfully calling your attention to each of these things, one by one? Can you go through the list a second time, noticing new things? A third time, noticing still more newness?
