One of my favorite translations of the word mindfulness is the Chinese translation, which is present

heart.

And so we're going to have a meditation that awakens a present heart, that courageous

away heart that can really be here for our life. Wherever you are in whatever position

suits you and serves you right now, you might let your attention go inward.

Find your way of feeling a sense of safety and groundedness and connection right here.

Just feel your body on the earth, sense the space around you that can really hold this

life.

You might even feel the beings in your life that give you a sense of support.

And as you deepen your attention right now, you might find your breath and sense your

body breathing and intentionally lengthen the breath.

Now so you're taking a nice long deep in breath and then a slow out breath, slow enough

so you can feel the sensations as you release the breath.

Good, and another nice long deep in breath, slow out breath, releasing and sense of letting

go with the out breath, letting go, letting go.

And again a nice full deep in breath, and a slow, smooth out breath, letting go.

And then as the breath comes back into its natural rhythm, notice the quality of presence

that's grown just in a few moments that you're a little more here.

You can deepen that presence as you gently scan through the body, waking up through the

body, relaxing through the body.
