Glad the mini-list is useful. Another is outside, standing in one place for a few minutes and 'doing nothing' i.e. "being present in the moment!", looking around...then i notice/experience what i otherwise wouldn't have: an ant scurrying up/down a tree trunk... and birds typically notice the stillness and come closer saying 'hi'...
Thx, Benja. Chock-full of good suggestions allowing people to choose their specific pathways of balancing the different worlds and feeling rooted with the Earth and relating with all beings. One of my favorite ways is a list of: looking through the window or stepping outside to look around, breathe the air, feel my feet rooted with Earth, etc., or a more extended experience of gardening or a walk. And whether indoors or outdoors, sitting and contemplating/meditating.
Hey Mankh, that's good to hear that you like it and your list is easy to implement yet impactful. One can look out the window immediately without a special exercise or preparation :) Then it becomes about being present in the moment!

Aha, I've made this experience as well when becoming still. It's like you go into a mode where an awareness for the living brings more life.
"where an awareness for the living brings more life" nicely said.
