Core Practice
Mindful Range of Movement
Place attention on each different body part as you move.
Pay attention to how it feels.
Attention and Awareness - focused on the body in motion.
Eyes closed or open (soft gaze) - whatever feels best for you.
Start with one body part (joint), and explore range of motion at the joint.
Explore what feels comfortable in your own rhythm.
Focus attention on how it feels.
If your thoughts distract you, this is normal.
Just practice bringing your attention back to your body in motion.
First, one joint in turn at a time.
Then you can combine joints and movement.
Tune into your body and the sensations whilst you move.
Connect with your body.
This activity has lots of benefits:
Helps to stabilise (lengthen) attention time
Helps to connect with your body in movement
Increases awareness of the body
