The First Practice
The Seated Minute
One deliberate minute, taken before the day is allowed to speak. Guided by Rev Benton.
The Seated Minute
0:000:00
The movement
- Stop.
- Take one deliberate breath.
- Notice what is moving in you.
- Do not obey it yet.
- Return inwardly to the seat from which a response can be chosen.
Practise it at the first provocation of the day — before the phone, before the reply, before the old sentence finishes itself. The minute is small. The jurisdiction it recovers is not.
