Mindfulness : Two anchor points


One of my readers DonW57 suggested trying 2 anchor points:

"Try 2 Anchor points. Focus on them at the same time and your thoughts will stop. For example, listening to the sounds in the space around you and also focus on colors you see. The 2 anchor points should be from what you sense. Hearing, sight, the feeling of your body (warm? cold? sitting? walking?). One anchor point is not enough to still thoughts, 2 anchor points works wonderfully."


 DonW57 Thanks, I will give it a try.

In the book The Mindful Way Through Depression,  the authors described a method called Breathing With. My understanding is that we can hold the Mindful Breathing in the background awareness, whilst holding the primary focus on the body sensation (pleasant, unpleasant or neutral).
