As part of arriving this morning, you might sense your heart's intention towards presence.

And allowing the awareness to really fill the body, becoming aware of places that might

be tight or tense and see if there's some natural letting go that's possible.

You might bring the half smile of the Buddha to your lips, let the eyes be soft,

and perhaps smiling into the heart.

So there's that receptivity and openness to the life that's here.

You might allow the attention to the brought to sounds, listening not just with your ears,

but with your whole awareness.

A global kind of listening.

Noticing with listening, there's nothing to do.

Sounds are known spontaneously by awareness.

Listening to the close-in sounds,

the soft background sounds,

listening to the most distant sounds you can detect.

And sensing the vastness of awareness that includes sound.

And it's with the same quality of receptivity of listening to sound that you can listen to and feel the changing sensations in the body.

Completely receptive.

Sensing that alert inner stillness that receives sensation and aliveness.

Letting the senses be wide open.

Where of the sounds, flow of energy and the aliveness of sensation.
