Letting your attention go inward.

You might feel your body breathing and sense the breath coming in and out of your heart.

You might ask yourself, what is my deepest intention for being here right now for practicing meditation?

And listen, what is the longing of the heart, what is it that matters to you in your life?

And stillness, let your senses be awake.

One of the most direct portals to presence is very conscious awakening through the body.

So you might gently scan through the body.

And let your senses first bring the attention to the eyes and letting them soften.

You can help to feel and imagine a smile spreading through the eyes lifting the outer corners

of the eyes.

Let the brow be smooth.

And sense the sensations, the aliveness and that whole region, softening and feeling

what is here.

In the same way, you might feel a slight smile at the mouth, even sense a smile on the inside

of your mouth, letting the jaws unhinge, the tongue fill the lower palate, relaxing down

to the root of the tongue.

And opening to feel the sensations that fill the tongue, the gums, the lips, the whole mouth,

softening and feeling aliveness, letting the sensitivity spread through your whole face,

feeling the scalp and the skull, feeling the whole head from the inside out, allowing the

shoulders to fall away from the neck.
