In this episode, Jyothi V. Robertson shared the 5 senses meditation in which the basic premise of this mindful sensory practice was discussed, and the 5 senses were used anchor us to the present moment.
By being present to our environment through our senses, we sharpen our awareness and decrease our reactivity. So, when we are in an environment where, for example, smell may be overpowering, we can be present to it and not let it take us over.
The ability to allow things to be as they are, embracing our current circumstances with curiosity and without judgment, allows us to live in the moment without all the emotional ups and downs that undermine our overall well-being.
The Journey You Own Online Meditation Gathering is a free sitting meditation session to create a shared, supportive space that brings people from animal welfare together to explore grounding practices.
This one-hour session happens every last Thursday of the month, held online via Zoom. Feel free to join anonymously with videos on or off, whatever feels most comfortable to you. Attendees register once and can attend any of the monthly sessions. Come when you are able, but we do ask that you keep your microphones muted upon entry, if arriving late.
To register, please visit www.jyo.world/meditation-gathering. We hope to see you in community!
