When our mind is overly agitated and we find it difficult to rest on our breathe, we can always use our senses, to bring us back to presence.

Taking in whatever is in our vision, without labeling or conceptualizing. Just see. We call this “seeing without seeing” in contemplative photography. And we do the same with our other senses. Just feel. Plenty of sensations. Just hear. Sound. Taste. Perhaps we are having a cup of coffee and our mind is watching reruns or predicting the future!How about just taste, coffee? Presence. Now how about the last one? The smell of a cup of coffee? Drop the story, enjoy a cup of coffee.
