To become attuned to the five senses when there is no time for meditation, notice the following, preferably unusual things you normally wouldn’t notice.
- 5 things you can see (shadows?)
- 4 things you can feel (texture of clothes, the breeze, table surface)
- 3 things you can hear (birdsong, fridge humming, traffic buzz)
- 2 things you can smell (pleasant/unpleasant)
- 1 thing you can taste (eat/drink something)
Focus on the above. Spend some time with them.
How do you feel?
