Summary

Meditation: Being Here - This guided meditation is an invitation to rest in Hereness—the immediacy and aliveness of full presence. We arrive and quiet with a conscious long deep breath, relax our bodies, awaken our senses, and then bring our attention to relaxing with our moment-to-moment experience. The poem ends with a beautiful poem called “Interlude” by poet Danna Faulds.

2:01.5	presence, to relieve stress, fear, and anxiety, or to really open your heart to others, meditate
2:12.6	and discover really your true nature of who you are, what is it that will cause you?
2:27.8	And we sense our shared aspiration that as we wake up these hearts and minds, that

3:27.0	matched in breath and out breath, slow, even release, and again breathing in, and a slow
3:44.5	out breath, continuing breathing in and out, the matched breath, approximately five counts
