What do you need?
For helping you connect in the moment to how you are feeling and what you need to do:
The guide asks a question in succession over and over, and eventually says, let’s do two more to bring closure to the first section. The guide then asks the second question repeatedly and also offers the space for two more responses as the practice goes on. Pause at the end, then ask, are some of those needs ones you can meet today?
