You might begin with just a simple sense of befriending your experience, just beginning

the evening with an intention towards gentleness, kindness.

As the tension goes inward, you might take a few full breaths.

Let the breaths be long and deep and conscious, so they help to collect your attention right

here.

Let your senses be open and awake so that you're aware of the sounds in the room, just a

kind of a listening receptive, and a listening and a feeling into the body aware of the sensations

of sitting here.

And listening to your own heart, whatever mood or energies in the heart, so that as

you attend to your heart, you can reflect on your aspiration for the evening.

The inquiry is really what matters to you, what brings you here in a deep way.

What is your intention?

And feeling our shared intention, our collective intention, that our time of reflecting and

meditating and prayer, be of benefit to our world, serve awakening, serve healing,

serve freedom.

And with that we chant together, we'll chant the syllable of ah, the sound current ah,

which is a sound current of letting go, of opening, connecting.

And when you run out of breath, just start again until we end collectively.

Feel free to harmonize.

Just begin by inhaling deeply.
