VlogThe world offers endless things to take us off-center, to rattle us, to cause upset. When those things happen, how do you get grounded?
This conversation is about finding the sensation of grounding — in the external physical body and in the internal feeling — and practicing it. When the stakes are low and nothing in particular is happening, practice grounding. Susan does this in the morning.
What the vlog adds
Written posts describe a sensation; a video can show the pace, the pause, and the small adjustments that go with it. The vlog entries are made to be watched alongside the reading.
Topics return to the felt sense of the body: where weight lands, how breath moves, and how attention settles. The same themes run through the essays on interoception, proprioception, and getting grounded.
The vlog section works as a spoken companion to the writing, a place where the ideas about grounding and body awareness take on a voice and a pace of their own. Where an essay can circle an idea slowly on the page, a short video lets you watch the practice happen in real time, noticing how attention moves and settles. These entries are less about instruction than about company, an invitation to sit alongside a conversation and let it stir your own curiosity about sensation, movement, and the quiet magic of inquiry held with intent.
Much of what the vlogs explore begins with something ordinary: a morning, a meal, a drive, the small pushes and triggers that pull us off-center. The practice is not about avoiding those moments but about meeting them with awareness, feeling the external physical body and the internal sense of things at once. When the stakes are low and nothing in particular is happening, there is room to practice, to breathe deep and notice. That is where balance gets built, quietly, before the harder days arrive.
