Sinking In

Sinking In is about connecting with your existing experience of fundamental wellbeing. Rather than trying to create or achieve anything new, you're simply accessing what's already present.

Steps

  1. Get comfortable while staying alert
  2. Take a few deep breaths to settle
  3. Ask yourself: "Do I, right now, feel fundamentally okay?"
  4. Notice where and how that "yes" shows up
  5. Rest your attention gently on that experience
  6. Allow each breath to take you deeper into it
  7. Let the experience gradually touch every part of your being

What to watch for

  • No need for the experience to show up in any particular way
  • If distractions arise, just note them and return to the experience
  • Remember you're accessing something that's already present
  • Let go of any labels or judgments about the experience
