We open our meditation in a simple way by reflecting on what matters to us, what your intention

is for being right here right now, what your deepest or most sincere intention is.

So sensing what your heart cares about, feeling your sincerity.

You will be chanting together from this place of caring and sincerity, a universal mantra,

Om, the sound current of connectedness.

You might want to bring the palms together gently in front of the heart as a way to really

collect your attention, center yourself.

I'm projecting from that heart space, we'll chant three times the mantra Om.

You might start by inhaling deeply.

Become aware of this body sitting here and breathing.

Then extending the breath so that the in-breath is long and full and deep.

And letting the out breath again be slow, slow, even.

So the in-breath and the out-breath are matched about five counts, a slow, long deep in-breath.

And a slow release, letting go with the out breath.

And letting slowly about five counts, and a slow release.

Continuing in this way with the long deep in-breath without a pause in between matching the

out breath and length.

Breathing the breathing, be smooth.

Continuing with this conscious breathing, if it feels like a strain, then it's fine to

have it.
