Mini Works

HI, I’m Cindy from DeepWell. The weekend is a great time to reset or get a new perspective on something that has been on your mind. Here is a short inner work you can try.

Go outside or gaze out your window. See, feel, smell, listen.

Is there something in nature that catches your attention? It could be the movement of a tree, the smell of flowers, the colors of foliage, or a gust of wind? Choose one sensation.

Imagine that it holds a message for you for the day ahead. What is that message? How will you use it?

Hi, I’m Cindy from DeepWell. The weekend is a great time to reset or get a new perspective on something that has been on your mind. Here is a short inner work you can try.

If you can go outside or gaze out a window if you can’t go out. Relax and breathe deeply. Notice the weather, see it, feel it, hear it. Let it fill your senses.

Imagine that the weather wants to tell you something. What is its message? How can that message help you in the week ahead?

Hi! I’m Cindy from DeepWell. The weekend is a great time to reset or get a new perspective on something that has been on your mind. Here’s a short inner work you can try.

Take a few moments to breathe deeply and relax. Become aware of your body. Feel yourself from the inside. Notice any sensation you are aware of in your body.

Now, make a small gesture or hand movement to express this sensation. Let yourself make it a few times. Study it.

What strikes you or interests you about this hand gesture? Is there a word would you use to capture the quality of this gesture? What is it?

How might this quality also be an attitude that would benefit or be useful to you the coming days?

Hi, I’m Cindy Trawinski from DeepWell. Through inner work, you can learn to notice, give space to and find the meaning in things that bother you. If you are curious about this, you might be interested in this mini work.

Please have paper and pencil nearby.

And when you are ready, ask yourself about a question that you have on your mind for the coming week or next few days? Make a note of this question on a piece of paper.

Now, take a moment now to feel yourself. Feel your body in this moment. Scan your inner experience. And notice if there a sensation, movement, vision or sound you notice in your body? Something that stands out in this moment. Make a note of it on your paper.

Now, go back inside yourself and study this sensation. Studying the sensation means paying close attention to it, feeling it, hearing it, attuning to it, holding it in your awareness.

When you are ready, ask yourself how is this particular experience in your body an answer to your question? What wisdom does your body have for you about your question?

Give yourself time to sit with this question and when you are ready make a few notes on your paper.

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Hi, I’m Cindy Trawinski from DeepWell. I’m talking about inner work exercises today. Inner work exercises help you to develop new attitudes towards people, problems and situations in your life. How do they do that? They do that by helping you access qualities or parts of yourself that you are not ordinarily aware of. Those parts or qualities can bring a sense of relief. They can increase creativity and they can help you feel more whole.

Try this mini work that I am about to lead you thru to learn more about how to approach problems.

You may want to have paper and pencil nearby.

OK. Think of a question, problem or disturbance you have in your life.

Now, notice something in your surroundings that calls to you in this moment, that’s catching your attention or flirting with you. It could be a sound, a light, a shape, an object, anything that calls you in this moment. Just choose one thing and study that for a bit. Hold it in your gaze. Attend to it.

How would you describe the quality that is catching your attention? Describe it to yourself and make a note of that – the quality of the thing that is catching your attention.

Now, take that quality as a teacher or messenger. How is it a response to your question or problem at the beginning? What is it teaching you? How might it be helpful for the problem you noted when you started.

What attitude does it imply for you the coming week? Make a note of this. I hope it is of help. Thank you.
