This is wonderful. In particular, I find it so helpful, when the body has become a place of stress and antagonism or pain, to really take time to pay attention to pleasant physical sensations. Breath. Taste. Warmth. The breeze. The sunshine. The softness of a blanket.
I love this idea of a somatic snapshot! You’re right that so many of us only drop into our bodies when something hurts or feels wrong, I see myself there all the time. I think that focusing on and being able to recall the feelings joy or gratitude, or ease in the body is truly a powerful reorientation. These practices are realistic and I’m very much looking forward to implementing this.

Thanks for the reminder!
