Background
For the moments when you'd like to meet someone's eyes, smile or say hello – and something in you looks away instead. This practice doesn't push you. It relaxes the body, turns your attention gently outwards with a few kind wishes, and lets you rehearse one small, friendly moment in your mind, so that warmth and openness begin to feel natural and safe. It draws on loving-kindness practice and mental rehearsal. Practise it daily for a couple of weeks and take one tiny step each day.
