Stillness Practices

Shape Tracing

Visual / Sight-Based

A simple visual exercise where you use your eyes to slowly outline the physical shapes in your immediate room. It grounds a spinning mind by reconnecting you directly to the concrete objects around you.

Instructions

  1. Look around your space: Pick a rectangular or square object near you, like a door frame, window, or book. 

  2. Start at the top corner: Fix your eyes on the top-left corner of the chosen object. 

  3. Trace the top edge: Slowly glide your eyes across the top border to the top-right corner. 

  4. Trace down the side: Slowly move your gaze down the right edge to the bottom corner. 

  5. Complete the shape: Trace along the bottom edge and back up the left side to your starting point. 

  6. Reverse direction: Trace the same object in reverse, moving at a slow, deliberate pace.
