I have developed the habit of sitting down and allowing my body to relax. As soon as I touch the stone, I feel the tension in my jaw in particular, begin to soften and smooth. I go there it seems, because I've found things to be consonant with the touching of the stone, that whatever is going on need not be held tightly. My jaw is a simple place to let go of.
After that I ask what practice is for myself. It feels different from a year ago, not so striving, not so foreign. It's as if I'm on the one hand not so concerned with being anywhere else, and on the other hand very clear about how to foster healthy relationships to things, including my own thoughts and feelings.
