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

Take a moment if you will to let your attention go inward and just feel your heart.

And as if you're just asking a question to your heart, ask yourself, what really brings

me here?

What is it I'm really wanting or longing for?

What is my intention?

And as you sense that intention, sense your own sincerity, because sincerity is the

energy that will bring your intention alive.

What really matters to you, whether it's presence, open-heartedness, clarity, and feeling

your breath, feeling yourself sitting here, and then gently open your eyes so that you

can do this without losing any balance.

I'm standing up if you will.

Just come standing up.

And find the right distance to your feet or apart, maybe hip with a part.

Let your arms relax and then close your eyes again.

Just close your eyes.

I'm going to invite you to just pay attention to standing for a few moments.

Be aware of the fact of standing and for whatever reason you can't stand, and just be aware

of the fact of sitting in your chair, knowing that meditation is independent of posture.

So feeling even through your shoes, if you have them on, the connection with the floor.

Feeling sensations in the body as it elevates itself from the gravitational field.

So perhaps feeling the feet and the legs, pelvis.
