Putting the Phone Face Down

13 min

A grounded practice for noticing the urge to check your phone before your hand obeys it. It follows the wanting as a body sensation, with its rise, crest and fading edge, rather than treating it as a command. The phone stays face down while you discover that the pull can pass without being answered.

Warm and clear, with an unhurried steadiness — a voice that settles a busy mind without ever rushing it.
