Welcome folks. Welcome to you all.

Okay, let's meditate. You're going to see. Maybe just to examine what you started to do when to begin to meditate. Maybe stop doing all the things you began. You're going to see? We can pick up certain efforts later, but for now, put all of them down, anything you can stop doing, stop doing. You're not going to see. You're not going to be here. You're not going to see. You're not going to see. It maybe feels like we have to do something.

But sometimes the feeling of having to do something to make something happen is a certain lack of trust our mind. So what if you began to trust your mind. began to trust the awareness that doesn't depend on your willfulness. You're going to see? Just enough with the suspicion of your mind. You're going to see? I give you an intentional anchor and say to attend to your breath,

attend to your body, attend to your breath,

soundscape.

They're beautiful instructions. instructions, but it gives a lot of room for a self to be born.

A self that takes my

self that takes my instruction

and orchestrates the attentional focus. You're not going to. What can you trust that doesn't depend on you? The truth is whatever it depends on me.

Not so reliable. You're going to see. You're not going to be here. You're not going to see. Maybe we could say the anchor is everywhere. You're going to see? You're not going to be here. You're going to see. You're going to see? You're not going to see. In a sense the self's job is willfulness.

If we don't give.

If we don't give the self a job, do we need a self. You're going to see. You're going to. You're going to see. The self, is one of my friends that is experienced as tension. So if we do anything, we relax. When we trust our awareness to find us. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. We just keep letting our doingness dissolve into the openness

dissolve into the openness of awareness. You're going to see. Maybe the only job we give ourselves is to surrender trust. You're Your meditation practice doesn't need you. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're going to. You're not going to. Maybe we can say, self is death,

and awareness is life. You're not going to see. How alive may we become. You're not going to. You're going to. You're going to be. You're going to be here. You're going to be here. You're going to.
