When your mind follows something that you see or hear, like being carried away in thought upon hearing a conversation, what do you do to return to presence?
Here are some things to do:
Place the attention on the breath, it fills the inner space, and returns to outer space.
Put the focus on sight and touch by viewing your bare foot on the ground and feeling the earth beneath;
Listen to the source behind all sounds.
Catch fragrances, even the most subtle, moving through the air as they enter your nostrils and mouth;
Feel the energy of the breath course through your body, massaging it from within;
Smile, close your eyes, and follow the breaths deeper and deeper into your body and beyond;
Walk gently observing the intimacy of your body within and without, and dissolve the boundaries of sensation
