A short guidance video by Ashok Gupta explaining how to use sensory awareness to bring attention into the present moment. The speaker recommends noticing what you can hear, see, and feel, attending to what your hands are doing (for example, the feel of water and appearance of bubbles while washing dishes), and balancing absorption in activity with appropriate pacing.
Our senses can help bring us into the present moment. When you suddenly stop and become aware of what you can hear, what you can see, what you can feel, you suddenly notice there's a lot of activity occurring in this present moment. What can also help is to bring our mind to. To what our hands are doing. So if we're washing the dishes, how does the water feel? What do the bubbles look like? Our senses help focus our mind on the present moment. And of course, absorbing ourselves in the activity can also be useful. At the same time, we don't want to forget about pacing.
