I love this! Somehow it makes me appreciate the silence more, as well.

I have something similar that I often do: It’s also noticing, but using the sense of touch. Such as while I type this, I try to focus on the smoothness of the phone in my hand. Hadn’t thought of using sound!

I hadn’t thought of using touch as a noticing practice. I’ll have to try it out and share it as an exercise soon. Thanks for sharing this! 😀

Concise, simple, and actionable - love it! I often find it so hard to do "mindfulness" exercises because there are so many "ways" people suggest to do it - but I do think simpler is better.

Exactly Zan! This exercise stood out for me in its simplicity and because it shows us our everyday ordinary activities are our practice. We don’t have to go anywhere or buy anything. We have what we need right now. Thanks!
