In the stillness and the presence, bring a gentle attention to the region of your brow,

the area of the eyes, let the eyes soften, let the brow be smooth.

Begin to notice as you relax and soften the energy and aliveness that's there.

You might bring a slight smile to the mouth, let the tongue spread and fill the lower jaw, relax down to the root of the tongue,

and with a receptive presence, just to feel the sensations and the gums, the teeth, the lips.

You might feel the shoulders and let the shoulders relax back and down to the lower jaw, relax away from the shoulders, and feel them from the inside out.

You might sense a melting or dissolving, ice to water, water to gas, receiving the aliveness, the flow,

and if there's tightness or tension in the shoulders, letting that float in awareness,

allowing the hands to rest in an easy and effortless way, and explore softening the hands, and then feeling from the inside out, the aliveness, the movement of energy.

Softening again, a receptive, intimate presence,

and the chest area be open, and see if you can fill the heart with awareness, a delicate or tender receptivity that is aware of the sensations, the energy in the heart area.

Relaxing down through the abdominal area, and then let this next breath be received in a softening belly, this breath.

Now this one, and again this one, feeling the awareness inside the belly, receiving the life that's there with the receptivity,

sensitivity, full allowing life to be just as it is.

Now, I'm scanning down so that you relax, soften through the whole pelvic region, and sense the energy from the inside out, receiving the life that's there, the changing dance of sensation.

Again the hands are soft, belly is soft, and you feel down the length and the volume of the legs, right into the ankles, the feet,

letting the awareness fill the feet, receiving the changing sensations that are there.

You might imagine the vast body of the earth extending down and out around you, and that life energy that vastness and aliveness flowing into, filling you.

So you can begin to sense this body as a field of aliveness.

Resting in the awareness includes the whole dance or play of aliveness, tingling and vibrating, heat and cool, tightness and flow, perhaps pleasantness, unpleasantness.
