The following meditation is led by Tara Brock, meditation teacher, psychologist and author.

It's coming into stillness, it's collecting the attention, closing the eyes.

Open in the most simple way of breathing together consciously.

So we'll start by inhaling and please let this be a very long deep in breath, extending it some,

filling the lungs.

And then the out breath slow so you can feel the sensations of letting go.

Letting go.

Again a full deep in breath.

And then a slow out breath.

Just aware of the sensations of relaxing, releasing, letting go.

And then once again inhaling, expanding, opening to the breath.

Filling the lungs.

Perhaps holding for a moment when you're full.

And then a slow out breath softening down the length of the body as you let go.

Let go.

Letting the breath resume its natural cycle.

Relaxing with the inflow.

Relaxing with the outflow.

And noticing the degree of presence that's here.

A bit more here.

And then once as awake so you're aware of the sounds around you.

And then inter-listening.
