The following talk was given at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California.

Please visit our website at audiodderma.org. So hello again, and welcome to Happy Hour and, um, yeah, I think tonight, this moment because I don't want to say tonight because you might be joining from different time zones.

Let's, um, let's sit together and I'll invite us to practice with mindfulness of the body, with care, stability, internal, external,

and let's see where it takes us.

So let's begin, let's begin coming to the body with a moment of refuge, taking refuge from the world,

from all the shoulds need to do this need to do that, haven't done this or long to do

list. Can we just release them right now?

Can we release?

Can we release in this moment. To come to the simplicity of this body, resting, living, breathing, being. And we're really. and we relax into the body. Without any agendas, no agenda. Just being breathed, letting go of agenda is releasing agendas.

Just being simply being.

You feel a little lighter letting go of agendas. Yes. You're going to see? the complete letting go of agendas.

Be like a non-stick pad.

Lots of worries, concerns, let him.

Not stick right now, See what it feels like.

Release, completely release, fall backwards.

It's okay. So if you're falling backwards. It's okay. If you're falling backwards into a safe bed of being. You're going to see. You're not going to see? You're not going to see? Conversations thoughts come, can you release?

And land, land into space of being

with the body and the breath. You're going to see. You're going to see? You're going to see? You're not going to see? You're not going to see. You're going to see. You're not going to be here. And there be a sense that we fall back, we fall back, we

all back as we let go of

we let go of

of gender's thoughts plans. go of the genders, thoughts, plans, we let go, we just fall back, we drop back.

And we're caught. And we're caught or held. And we're caught. We're held.
