We begin the course by dropping the anxious, over-active, thinking mind,  and grounding awareness deeply in the body.  It is the foundation for all the other practices because it brings us to an essential starting point – being fully in the body with all of its feelings and sensations.  This practice opens and relaxes our tightness and we feel more embodied.

Relax into a comfortable sitting posture on a cushion or chair. Raise your arms to shoulder height and let your hands fall suddenly onto your lap as you forcefully exhale. Let your hands slap your thighs enough to shake the body slightly, but not enough to hurt yourself. Drop the thinking mind and land in the body. Rest in simple awareness without doing anything. Allow feelings and sensations to arise and cease naturally. Repeat this practice until it is easy and effective.
