Closing your eyes and a good way to find a sitting posture that works is once your eyes

are closed to just move your body a bit, making whatever subtle adjustments bring you

to sitting in a way that's upright.

And sometimes it helps to lean a little to the left, a little to the right, forward,

back, and then just sense with gravity that alignment when you're balanced, stable.

Once your sitting tall, see if you can relax whatever parts of your body might want to

soften, be it more at ease.

Just feel your body sitting here breathing.

Letting the attention come to the area of the heart.

You might listen a little, notice what the state of your heart is right now.

We often don't check in so much with ourselves, so just taking some moments to notice without

any judgment, the quality or mood is of the heart.

Your emotions are here, or perhaps there's a sense of peace, or maybe there's a sense

of numbness or excitement, squeeze.

See if you can witness and notice and let it be okay, however your heart is.

Still with the attention in the heart area to ask yourself what your deepest intention

is for this evening or for this meditation, for this time together.

When reflecting on your aspiration, it's helpful to ask again so that there's that

quality of sincerity that you make room for.

What really matters to you?
