Mindful AF Sunday

Set a timer for 5 minutes.

Sit or lie down.
Let the body be still.

Bring your attention to one sense.
Hearing.
Feeling.
Smell.
Sight.
Taste.

Notice what’s there without improving it.
Without naming it good or bad.
Just data. Just contact.

When the mind drifts, return to the sense you chose.

This is awareness in its simplest form.

“Then the seer rests in its own true nature.” Yoga Sutra 1.3

When perception isn’t tangled in commentary,
awareness recognizes itself.

Not through thinking.
Not through striving.
Through clear seeing.

This is what noticing makes possible.

“The joy that comes from deep inner stillness, with the mind quieted and centered, is beyond the reach of the senses, yet it is known by awareness.” Bhagavad Gita 6.21

When the noise settles, something clearer remains.
Not imagined.
Not forced.
Known directly through awareness itself.

This is the kind of knowing that doesn’t require effort—only attention.

“Reality has limits; the imagination does not.”
— Susan Sontag

Awareness asks us to stay with what’s real, not what we’re projecting onto it.
The senses keep us honest.
They show us what’s actually here.

Wellness Wednesday

Try a 5-minute sensory check-in today.

Pick one sense.
Just one.

Notice what you can hear.
Or what you can feel through your hands.
Or the smell of the space you’re in.

No fixing.
No judging.
No “should.”

Just noticing what’s actually happening.

That’s regulation.
That’s awareness.

Yoga Tip Tuesday

In savasana, let the senses lead.

Don’t adjust the pose.
Don’t control the breath.
Just notice.

Sound arrives.
Breath moves.
Temperature touches skin.
The body settles where it settles.

Practice noticing what’s here—
not what you wish were happening.

That’s awareness.

Mantra Monday

I notice this—taste, smell, sound, feel, sight—as it is.

Awareness starts with noticing.
Noticing without editing.
Noticing without judging.

Today’s practice is simple:
Choose a sense: try to taste, smell, hear, feel, or see what’s actually happening, not what you want to happen.

Mindful AF Sunday

Most of the week, we’re absorbed in the movie.
Thoughts, plans, worries, memories—scene after scene.

Today’s practice is quieter.

Notice the thoughts.
Then notice what’s aware of the thoughts.

Like watching a movie and suddenly realizing there’s a screen,
nothing has to stop for awareness to be present.

The story can keep playing.
You just don’t have to disappear into it.

Rest there.

“The seer is pure awareness, simply observing.” — Yoga Sutras 2.20

This is your reminder that awareness isn’t the drama.
Awareness is what notices the drama.

Your mind can tell a whole cinematic saga in 0.3 seconds.
Cool. Let it.
You don’t have to crown it king.

See the thoughts. Feel the moment. Stay bigger than the story.

“The body is called the field, and one who knows the field is called the knower of the field.” — Bhagavad Gita 13.2

The Gita is basically saying: your body, your emotions, your thoughts, your whole day… that’s the field.
But you are the one who knows the field.

When you forget that, the stories feel like truth.
When you remember it, the stories are just weather moving through a much bigger sky.

“The most obvious, important realities are often the ones that are hardest to see and talk about.”
— David Foster Wallace

Awareness is like that.
It’s always here, quietly holding everything—
yet we miss it because we’re focused on the content instead of the container.

This week’s reminder:
What’s most real isn’t always the loudest thing in the room.

Wellness Wednesday

Most stress isn’t coming from what’s happening.
It’s coming from the story we’re telling about what’s happening.

The body experiences sensation.
The mind adds commentary.

Today’s wellness practice is simple:
When a stressful thought shows up, pause and ask,
“Is this a fact… or a story?”

You don’t need to erase the story.
You don’t need to replace it with a better one.
You just don’t have to believe it automatically.

Sometimes relief comes not from changing the situation—
but from changing how tightly we cling to the narrative.
