Putting down what you want to leg go of

Hello, welcome back.

Do you have your rocks or your objects? And one should be lighter than the other.

Okay, I just want to show you this rock is, it's got pyrite in it. And this rock is amethyst. This I actually found with my partner, which was exciting. And the pyrite rock has some weight to it.

And this amethyst is a little lighter than this rock with the pyrite in it.

Can you sense the weight of your objects? Sense that through your body, what feels heavier and what feels lighter?

Might help the sensing if you take your attention away from the front of you and how you're bringing information through your eyes through the front of your body. Can you go to the back of your body? Because that's where your sensory nerves come in. They come in through the back of you and the back of your spinal vertebrae.

So when you're sensing, can be helpful to feel the back of your body and your back space, the space behind you. And to soften your eyes and your gaze.

I invite you to put the light rock down and feel the heavy rock.

How does feeling the heavy rock affect how you sense your whole body?

What does the weight of this rock feel like to you?

And then can you place the rock down and away from you?

So you put the weight of the rock and the weight of the consciousness of weight over on the table. Let it go.

Is there still kind of a memory of the weight in your body?

Or can you feel the weight of the rock in the rock itself?

And then pick up your lighter rock and sense the weight of this light rock.

How does feel different than the heavier rock? Do you still have a memory, a sense of that weight within you to compare this lighter object or rock?

How does the lightness feel in your body as compared to the heaviness of the other object?

And then place the weight of this rock down on the table or down the floor. Place it away from you.

And then let's hold both rocks or both objects.

And sense the weight through some movement of your arm if possible for you.

And the consciousness of weight and how that affects how you feel in your entire body.

And then play with the light.

Rock.

And sensing the light weight, the lighter weight of the rocker object.

And your body.

Mmm, just explore.

The different weight.

The weight through your hand.

And the weight through your arms.

Maybe the way through your belly.

And you place the different weights there.

Lighter and heavier.

And then put them down. Put the consciousness of the weight down on the table or on the chair on the floor in front of you. Place it away from you. Put it put it down. Let it go.

And do you still sense the consciousness of weight within you?

And what might it be like to sense the consciousness of the weight outside of you in the rocks?

Remembering the light rock and the heavy rock.

How much of the rock can you keep with the rock itself?

Now you can do this, rewind the video, practice this as many times as you'd like. And you could do a more of a movement practice where you move your body in any way that feels comfortable for you playing with the sensing of weight and the difference between the lightweight and the heavier weight.

So how do you put down what you've picked up?

That's a big question that can take a long time to explore.

What I'm sharing here is a practice of noticing what you're taking into yourself through your perception.

What are you perceiving? How does your perception affect how you feel inside yourself and your body? What are you taking in from the external, sensing that through you? We're doing this consciously, but we do this unconsciously in many ways throughout the day.

And then how do you place it away from you?

Put it down and keep it in the object or in the person or in the culture or in whatever the social media. How do you move it outside of you and keep it there over there while you're here?

And this is a question for me. This has been an exploration for the past couple of years. I don't know exactly the answer, but I find the practice itself to be quite profound. And I'm curious what you might think as well as you continue with this practice. What are you taking in and sensing?

And then how do you put it down and outside of yourself?
