There, the recording is on.

So, so hello, hello, everyone, and welcome to Happy Hour.

Delighted to be with you in this moment and time.

Wherever we are, wherever we're zooming in from, wherever we're sitting, wherever we're occupying,

taking space, being, residing, landing, feeling this earth.

So... residing, landing, feeling this earth. So what I like to invite us to engage in is to start practicing together,

meditating together, start meditating together, and I'll present the theme after we have

settled.

So take a moment to make yourself

comfortable if you need support for your back or if you need to move from a chair to a cushion.

This is a really good time to get the support you need to make yourself comfortable.

Ah! And arriving landing in this moment. to make yourself comfortable.

Ah, and arriving, landing in this moment, in this body, however it is.

However it's showing up.

And can we arrive just a little more softly today in this body?

Just a little more affection for the body itself. This amazing miracle of nature that we call my body.

It knows how to breathe, how to heal, how to digest all these amazing functions.

Just landing with the sensations of the body with a bit more gratitude, softness.

Especially if there is pain or discomfort or any ouch somewhere in the body landing Landing.

As if we're meeting a friend, hello friend.
