Self-Unfoldment

Why it works

Freeing yourself from the restrictions and subtle agendas your mind puts on itself allows for greater curiosity and openness.

How to practice

1. Find a quiet space, set a timer for 3 minutes, and settle into your body.
2. Bring curious attention to your present experience: - Physical sensations as they are - Emotions, without listening to their "story" - Thoughts without following them
3. When you notice yourself trying to change anything, silently welcome that, too. Practice genuine appreciation for whatever is present.

Good to know

• The art here is catching the subtle ways we try to control or improve our experience. Many find they have a constant background agenda of trying to feel "better" or "different."
• Counterintuitively, the fastest route to feeling better comes through dropping any agenda to improve or fix ourselves.
