The Hourglass: where is my attention?

Notice what you are expecting, what is here now, and what you are remembering. The past can inform you. The future can guide you. From here, you can choose how to meet both.

An invitation to try now

A moment to return

Notice your breath, the ground, or one object around you. Then ask:

Awareness

What am I noticing?

Access

What is available, and what do I need?

Agency

What can I choose, and what calls for support?
