This is a meditation method that works via a process known as orienting.
I go outside, someplace mostly quiet, just sit there, and look around. That's it.
Sometimes, I welcome gentle attention back into my body, to see what's going on, and if it's chaotic in there, I move my attention back out into the world and just ... keep looking around sensing for danger.
A lot of learned fear responses (read trauma) are reactions to things that aren't happening anymore.
This is meant to be a gentle practice, I go outside, find a place to sit and listening to the birds. When I notice myself in a thought, I gently move my attention either back to my body or just continue to look around and notice I'm safe.
