Centering in the Heart

When touching a person, tree, flower, or the earth, do not touch only with the hand; feel the hand as an extension of the heart.

Open-endedCore: Witnessing

Practice style

  1. Close your eyes and touch a safe object.
  2. Feel the touch extending from the hand into the chest.
  3. When listening to music or looking at the world, also experiment with 'feeling from the heart.'
Do Not Lose the Witness
The method is only an entrance. Whether it uses breath, dance, sound, darkness, sitting, or relationship, what matters most is gradually seeing what is happening rather than only chasing an experience.
