It's time to bring your attention into the warm

As wintery weather arrives here in England it's time to bring your attention into the warm.

Feeling at home in your skin is about having more of your attention inside than out. A good percentage to aim for is 80% in and 20% out.

A place for attention to rest in the winter is below your heart, especially if your heart feels on the angst side of life. Try your centre (a little above the navel) or below and lightly there. Too strong a focus can draw tension. Gravitas is good.

For the animal in us the winter can feel like a risky time. Reassurance of warm clothes and candlelight brings the mystery and romance of winter inside.

It's time to remember a warm coat, scarf and gloves for an envigorating walk in any weather . . . and good soup to return to.

When all you want is your own company, you light a fire in your hearth.

Light one now :)
