Witness mindset (sometimes called “witness conscious") is a term used in psychology and spirituality. It refers to a real-time neutral noticing of oneself. Ram Dass (a prominent Harvard psychologist turned spiritual teacher) explained that “the witness place inside you is simple awareness, the part of you that is aware of everything — just noticing, watching, not judging, just being present, being here now.” When doing a Ground & Fill Exploration at the beginning of a session with me, we ask the brain to take a back seat. In this way, we ask the conscious self that tries to make sense of everything and create a narrative about it to step back and create space for curiosity. Curiosity opens the door for the witness mindset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645b9c54c7b0c30c47e98ed5/9ca56cdf-ebfe-49eb-bfe5-a6a178bb9211/rooting-4023264_640.jpg Blog - Developing a Witness Mindset - Ground & Fill Exploration In this exploration, we start by turning on all the lights in your system – bringing your awareness to your breath and the surfaces you are in contact with. Next, we connect to the earth using a metaphor like roots, light beams, or rivers of awareness – anchoring to something neutral, larger than us, and always available. Then, we invite the earth's energy to fill our body from our feet to the crown of our heads – meeting each cell with the nurturing, safe energy that it needs at this moment. While grounded to the earth, we use our internal navigation systems to notice sensations like temperature, vibration, color, sound, texture, etc. These sensations are simply information. Imagine you stepped outside on a sunny day. You may notice the blueness of the sky, the clarity of the objects around you, the contraction of the muscles around your eyes, or the elevation in your mood as the barometric pressure rises. These are all basic sensations that can be sparked by the presence of the sun. When filling your inner landscape with the earth's nourishing energy during a Ground & Fill, you go section by section through your body with curiosity and an open mind to discover the sensations that arise. The very action of noticing sensation cultivates the witnessing mindset. You approach this process with unconditional awareness. Leaving behind the need to create a story or make an opinion about what you notice. When your brain comes in (as it will) to try and disrupt the process with a thought or critique, you pause to notice that, too. Then, remind your brain that you are listening to and filling your tissue with precisely what it needs at the moment. https://www.stillpointvt.com/blog/gender-affirming-healthcare-and-executive-orders-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645b9c54c7b0c30c47e98ed5/e50b58b6-f833-4ed8-aa49-f9c32b5fd9b6/TitleOption3.193f6b16.a00996bf.jpg Blog - History is Repeating Itself - But We Refuse to Be Erased - Let’s call gender-affirming care what it is: healthcare.

They break down sequencing and give you clear “if/then” structures. When you are back with clients, these protocols make recalling the new material more accessible. Without realizing it, the protocols can become the backbone of what we do. The ten-step protocol is an excellent example of this in CranioSacral therapy. Following an algorithm can lead to treating each client the same as other clients, triggering that specific “if/then” paradigm. https://www.stillpointvt.com/blog/education-and-professional-experience monthly 0.5 2024-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/645b9c54c7b0c30c47e98ed5/34e9ee33-1a7a-4b9e-b1e9-320e068def57/IMG_1070.jpeg Blog - Education & Professional Experience - I am a Washington Licensed Massage Therapist (MA00017639) and a Vermont Certified Massage Therapist, Bodyworker, and Touch Professional (164.0000629).
