Become aware of your physical memory
Instructions
-
List your ‘favorite’ or preferred articles, pieces of furniture, or places.
This includes your favorite armchair, coffee mug, a style of clothing, a particular seat at your dining table, or your local café. -
Think about how you feel if you can’t use that favorite thing, or someone else uses it.
Do you grow territorial or disturbed – as if your very identity depends on it? Then it becomes a boundary for you. -
Sit alone in an unfamiliar place on an unfamiliar piece of furniture.
Just sit in awareness. -
Observe yourself closely.
How comfortable is your body? Is it uneasy? Does it seem to want to be elsewhere? -
Start shaking things up.
You could go to new places, wear different clothes, etc. Expand your horizons rather than contract them. Liberate yourself from the overpowering tentacles of physical memory.
