Stress busting exercise

Take a breath. And imagine that you can feel your body, sense it. Not visualizing, but feelings, emotions and sensations. Feel your skin, feel and sense your stomach area (that's how you would know if you were hungry or not, afraid or not). Take your awareness to the centre of your body. Notice the subtle or strong shift in the way your body feels as you do this. Compare it to holding your attention in your head. It's subtle (not Hollywood) but is very, very helpful to learn to do. place your hand on your stomach to remind yourself to go there. It keeps you centred, it plugs you into intuition, it's a great stress buster and you can be more connected to life from there. In the head we feel the mind strongly and this is not helpful as the mind is going fast and getting nowhere. Notice in the day, that when you are most natural, most at peace, most happy you will be in your centre. When you are stressed or disconnected you will be in your head. So instead of letting it happen unconsciously, move yourself to your centre consciously.
