Meet the Now What carries meaning? First, have your notebook ready and do the grounding exercise . Curiously explore what bodily sensations tell you about yourself. This exercise also touches the area of meaning making. Describe a literal sensation in your body to yourself. For example: “In my throat my Adam’s apple presses forward against my skin, a lump in my throat.” Notice any other places and describe them too. Write your descriptions down. Ask yourself: “What information do these sensations give me about myself?” Ask yourself: “What am I being invited toward?” Explore the answer at your own pace. Do not settle for the first answer if it brings no moment of recognition. Explore how you would like to express yourself in this moment. Discuss your discoveries with someone doing the same exercise.
