Putting the Phone Face Down

12 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.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
