SR101 – Session 2
Practice Session 2
Mid Morning (2.5 Hours)
1) Practice
You have two options here.
Option 1
If you are new to (or wish to revise) the foundation guidelines and practice of conscious dance this is a good option. It contains a listening practice(1), then facilitation in the warmup(2) and then the guideline dance(3) from the Introduction to Dance Awake Course. It ends with a long deep relaxation practice(4). It is wonderful if you have never done conscious dance before and will give you the keys to go deeper in the other dance sessions in the evening.
Or you can do
Option Two
This option also starts with the listening practice(1) , then warmup practice(2) and instead of doing the guideline dance we simply dance to a mix, Lets Get Physical(3) without facilitation. We then end with the deep relaxation practice(4).
2) Mindful Lunch:
This is the main and biggest meal for the day.
Mindfully prepare your meal and take time to eat. Experience it through all of your 5 senses. Pay attention to how it smells, taste, touch (texture), how it looks, and sounds. Notice how you are feeling and what your thoughts are as you eat. Any images, flashes of insights, memories triggered? Any preferences - likes, dislikes, etc. Be as present to the experience as possible. Be curious about the experience. Open to the possibility of experiencing new things. Don’t do anything else during this time. Immerse yourself in the pleasure and simplicity of the act of eating breakfast.
Give yourself enough time to rest and digest this meal afterwards.
3) Being Time
Enjoy some time for musing, journaling, art, resting, connecting to nature, tending the house/garden and creating. Allow yourself to be the space of loving awareness that holds all the experiences you have.
Up Next:
Practice Session 3 is next - you will need 2-3 hours before dinner preparation to do it.
