10 minPurpose
Offer a safe, simple self-remembering experiment.
Key takeaway
Self-remembering is not thinking about yourself. It is being present to yourself while meeting the world.
Ordinary attention flows outward or inward. This practice gently includes both: the room and the one who is here.
The practice should be brief and exact. Straining turns it into another mechanical effort.
