As you come into stillness, take some moments to let your attention come to the heart area.

Ask yourself this simple inquiry of what really brings me here, what brings me to practice.

And listen in for your deepest intention, what feels most sincere, what feels like truth to you.

What is it that matters?

To the degree that you can touch into that sincerity of feeling what you care about, whether it's

more presence, more realization of your own true nature, open-heartedness, maybe touching peace.

When you sense what matters in that connecting with your intention, you become more available.

You're more at home.

Taking some moments to scan through the body, and just notice if there's areas of particular tightness, tension, places that are ready to soften or let go.

Pay particular attention as you scan down to the area of the brow. Let the brow be smooth, the eyes soft.

The jaw unhinged. You might bring a slage smile to the mouth.

Let's see if you can sense the inside of the mouth smiling,

feeling the volume of the tongue relaxing the root of the tongue.

You might let the shoulders fall away from the neck, relaxing back and down.

Let's see if you can soften a bit, sense whatever tightness might be in the shoulders as floating in awareness.

If you can notice a little bit of untangling movement, sensation inside the shoulder.

The hands rest in an easy way, effortless, easy and still, and then softening inside the hands,

feeling from the inside out so you can sense the tingling and vibrating, the pulsing that's there.

Let there be an openness to the chest.

See if you can notice sensations, the liveness in the heart area.
