I led a phone session on the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day which centered on the question of the relevance of Sensory Awareness in emotionally difficult and stressful daily life situations.
This inspired a "somatic meditation" on Thanksgiving Day's family challenges, and how our connection with the floor and gravity can help us to stay in touch but not entangled.

Below are two versions of this session.

The shorter YouTube video version and the full session as an audio file.

I hope you will find them useful - even if you are not celebrating Thanksgiving in your part of the world.

To participate fully you will need a chair and a mop. Alternatively, you can also use a broom or a simple stick. The mop adds a touch of strangeness which you may (or may not) enjoy. ;-)
