The Lab
Try something.
See what happens.
We’re not giving you homework. We’re giving you something to investigate.
Nothing here has a correct result. Only what you notice.
Seven ways of practicing the same thing. No order. Start wherever you’re curious.
Notice Each Other
A 5-minute experiment for two people.
You don’t have to solve anything.
Just notice.
60-Second Awareness
You don’t have to change anything. Just notice.
HypothesisThere is more happening right now than you were noticing a moment ago.
Try itAssumption
Your brain hates an empty space. It fills it in.
HypothesisSome of what feels like knowing is assuming.
Try itThought
You had a thought. That doesn’t mean you have to follow it.
HypothesisA thought can be watched instead of followed.
Try itCuriosity
What if you didn’t have to decide yet?
HypothesisCuriosity opens a door that judgment closes.
Try itReaction
Something happened. Then something happened inside you.
HypothesisThere is a space between the trigger and the reaction.
Try itAttention
Where your attention goes, your experience follows.
HypothesisAttention has habits you haven’t been introduced to yet.
Try itLearn Your Body’s Language
Your body is talking. You don’t have to understand it yet.
HypothesisBodily sensations carry information — but the sensation itself doesn’t automatically tell you what it means.
Try itA laboratory for being human. You’re the one running the experiment.
