The Aid Kit

AhavaSana Emotional First Aid Kit

If you could describe how you are in one word, what would it be?

I don't know what I'm feeling

Start with the body

  1. 1Sit or lie down somewhere you won't be interrupted for five minutes.
  2. 2Close your eyes or soften your gaze.
  3. 3Scan slowly from your feet upward. Just notice. Not fix. Notice.
  4. 4Where is there tension? Where is there heaviness? Where does your body feel nothing at all?
  5. 5Place one hand there. Don't try to change it. Just let your hand rest there for a moment.
  6. 6Ask yourself, quietly: what does this feel like? Not what caused it. What does it feel like right now?
