Awareness of Contact

field note Jun 10, 2026
 

Some of the simplest practices are not even practices, they do not ask of you to be anything other than what you are in this living moment.

They are doorways to awareness through the pulse of your existence itself.

Right now, wherever you are, whatever you are in the middle of doing... your body is here in contact with your environment. 

 

Such a simple observation. 

 

Yet, if you follow it for a few seconds, maybe just a few minutes, if you really feel this contact, in its nuances, in its variations, you may discover that this simple presence has something to show you.

 

You will likely be invited into the place of "I am here".

 

If you then pick this awareness up in different scenarios in your life - while having a conversation, at work, doing chores, standing in line, watching a show, or on a walk... you begin to engage with the moment in a whole new way.

If you bring this awareness of contact as you interact with people animals, or with plants and trees... you are invited into a true relationship - this is exciting, this is where the beauty is.

I suggest deepening this "practice" as a foundation, a baseline to being here.  And what an entry point it is!

 

There is something alchemical that arises. What begins as a landing, reveals levity, spaciousness and lightness.

 

If this Field Note resonates with you, I welcome you to reach out and share your reflections.
