This is Mary Maddox with MeditationOasis.com.

For this episode we're adding a guided meditation that was recorded live with my local group.

So take a

few moments to get comfortable.

Be compassionate to your body, see what it wants.

Close your eyes.

Let yourself sink into whatever is happening right now.

Let your body relax into the pool of gravity.

Let go of any effort, any attempt to make anything happen or change anything.

Allowing yourself to be fully present to whatever is happening.

Notice your breath, then in and out of the breath.

Notice the soothing nature of the breath.

Sitting with an open awareness.

Letting go of resistance to anything, not resisting thoughts.

Not resisting noise that you hear.

Letting go of any resistance to any emotions.

Or any sensations in your body.

Let yourself be fully present.

Being fully present is compassion.

It's that which accepts everything without condition.

Notice what that feels like.

See if you can find the feeling of compassion.
