Five Senses Arrival
Before you begin
Sit comfortably and let your eyes rest on one point, or close them if that feels safe.
The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like
See
Name five things you can see, slowly, letting each one fully register.
Touch
Name four things you can feel — fabric, air, the chair, your own hands.
Hear
Name three sounds, near and far, without judging them.
Smell and taste
Notice two smells and one taste, or the memory of them.
Rest
Feel all the senses settle into one simple fact: you are here.
Accessibility
Adaptable to whichever senses are available to you; skip any step that does not apply.
How long do you have?
Or read through it quietly above, at your own pace.
