I think I’ll try this today. Aside from being a new trigger to come back to the present moment, there’s something symbolic about doorways and gateways as well so it will be interesting – about transitions perhaps.
Tibetan monks frequently practice a moment of mindfulness each and every time they walk through a door. Sometimes they do this by remembering to recite a certain verse or mantra as they do so. Try this yourself for a day. Every time you walk through a door, pause, take a moment, breathe in and out. Bring yourself back to the moment. Then cross the threshold and walk on.
