You may close your eyes, let your attention go inward, feel the movement of the breath.

And see if you can sense and imagine and feel the breath at the heart as if you're breathing into the heart and out of the heart.

We begin with a reflection on the question, what is my deepest intention?

Right this moment, what's my deepest intention for being here?

For practicing meditation?

You might even think of it in a broad way, your intention in your life, as if you were at the end of your life looking back, what would matter?

What's the quality of the heart, of the presence you want to bring to the world?

What's the most reflecting and sensing what you feel most sincere about?

Sitting still and feeling the aliveness that's right here in the stillness, gently scanning the body with your awareness and seeing what might want to let go a little right now.

You might want to bring your attention to the region of the eyes, with the eyes soften.

Sensing a smile lifting up the corners, the outside corners of the eyes.

Looking the flesh around the eyes, we relaxed the brows smooth.

You might sense a slight smile at the mouth, let the jaws be unhinged, letting the tongue fill lower palate.

Relaxed down to the root of the tongue, feeling the gums, the teeth, the lips, opening to the whole world of sensation and the region of the mouth.

Letting the shoulders fall away from the neck, relaxing them back and down some.

Sensing awareness, filling the shoulders so you can feel from the inside out, softening, relaxing.

Perhaps you can sense the shift from ice to water, kind of melting inside the shoulders.

Ice to water, and then water to gas. Again, as you soften aware of the aliveness that you can perceive,

it's the movement of energy. Let the hands rest in a very easy, effortless way.

Softening the hands, dry softening again, and feel from the inside.
