Thread: Need some help with All day awerness(ADA)

You can notice the weight of your body on your chair or your shoes.... Or your posture and movements...

Your breath... your blinking...

What about being aware of your peripherial vision?

I'm new to this too but, if it helps, I could tell you what I do.

Sometimes, if I'm not distracted by other thoughts, I practice awareness while walking down the street. I sense my feet hitting the ground. I feel my clothes. I sense my breath, and the beat of my heart. I notice my movements, and my blinking if I remember to. I feel temperature and changes in the wind.

I see the buildings, street lamps and trees passing by my both sides. I observe the people and animals, what are they doing and saying. I notice how my surrounding affects my emotions: I'm amused by those kids playing/I'm charmed at the sight of that adorable puppy/I feel uneasy as I hear a couple fighting a few meters behind me... Finally, I try to recall what I saw, heard and felt at the end of the practice.

Obviously I can't do everything at the same time, but I try to. Also, each method works differently for each person, but I think its better to practice in different situations and places, walking, sitting, while you are working...
