In this meditation we explore the 5 senses – starting with touch, then taste, smell, sounds and sight. This provides an anchor for our attention, so is a concentration-type meditation. By continue to return to our senses as the focus, we can bring these points of awareness into focus and thereby slow down our other thoughts or other possible distractions calling for attention. While we just notice whatever is present, we can also use imagination and recall particular smells, sounds and sights that might provide us with a sense of calm, safety or enjoyment. It can also be particularly meaningful to brainstorm or repeat an intention once the body is more settled or as we settle ourselves and at this meditation’s end, there is a reminder about this practice.
