Rotation of Awareness
Rotation of Awareness by Daran Crush
This can be taken laying or sitting, ideally with eyes closed. In the practice you just take the awareness to each of the locations as they are mentioned. If your attention drifts elsewhere or you fall asleep that is completely fine, just join back in when you realise. The practice is meant to give the mind something to focus on in the present moment, with the aim of bringing the thoughts to the locations in the body, rather than thinking (ruminating or planning).
I’m a Mindfulness Teacher; I also teach yoga. Since taking my first mindfulness course, my own practice and classes have changed, inviting a deeper connection.
I teach mindfulness and yoga classes in the workplace. I mix a range of yoga styles into a mindful class that is open to all. My classes are accessible and suitable for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners.
For me, a mindful yoga class allows for a ‘dropping in’ to each posture, sensing how it lands and being with what arises. Classes conclude with a body scan to further deepen awareness of what is really here.
