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

And as you close your eyes and come into stillness, you might take a few very conscious long deep breaths.

So let's inhale deeply together and expand it in breath, inhaling.

And then a slow out breath.

Slow enough so you can feel the sensations of letting go.

Releasing, releasing, letting go.

That's it. And then again, inhaling deeply, filling the chest, filling the lungs.

Exaggerate like a full full breath and then a slow out breath.

Slowly releasing, letting go.

Letting go.

One more time inhaling deeply.

And a gentle slow release softening down the length of the body.

Letting go.

Letting go.

And then as the breath comes back into a natural rhythm, just notice the possibility of relaxing, relaxing with the inflow, and relaxing with the outflow.

And notice the quality of presence that it doesn't take much.

To experience yourself as more here.

And bring your presence, your attention to the heart.

And just sense whatever mood is with you tonight.

The state of your heart right now.

You might feel a mood of anxiety or tiredness, stress, openness, curiosity, sorrow, cheerfulness.

The sense what's here, maybe there's a numbness, maybe you can't sense what mood is here.
