@Esperanza,your insights are incredibly valuable and perfectly complement the discussion on mindfulness!Thank you so much for sharing your personal experiences and the techniques you've successfully used with your patients and clients.Your additions enrich the conversation significantly.I especially appreciate your emphasis on connecting with the physical environment as a pathway to mindfulness.The suggestions of placing hands on the diaphragm and heart to sense temperature,identifying surrounding sounds,and exploring textures are brilliant additions.They offer tangible,easily accessible ways for people to ground themselves in the present moment.The idea of barefoot walking and connecting with nature's textures is equally powerful–a beautiful way to deepen the mindfulness practice and foster a sense of connection with the natural world.Your methods highlight the importance of engaging multiple senses in mindfulness practice,moving beyond just focusing on the breath.This multi-sensory approach makes the practice more engaging and accessible to a wider range of individuals.It's wonderful to hear how effective these techniques have been for both you and your clients.Thank you for sharing your expertise and for enriching our understanding of mindfulness within the Holos Lutos community.

I'm sending you a big hug back!
