The following meditation is led by Tara Brock, meditation teacher, psychologist and author.

Make yourself comfortable, allow yourself to find that sitting posture where you can feel

upright, so there's a sense of sitting tall, but not stiff.

If you can pose rise and in sitting upright, find ways to relax yourself.

Be it ease.

I'm letting the life that's here pass through.

So there's the outer listening and then an inner listening.

Let your attention go inward and just take a moment to listen to your heart right now.

We start with a very simple inquiry which is really what brings us, what's our intention for the evening.

There's a real power in just sensing what matters to me.

You might have a mechanical response, well I want to relax more, I want to be less stressed

or more open with others and then just keep listening in sense really what matters most.

What do you feel most sincere about?

What do you most want to have guiding your life?

What's the quality of attention, the quality of heart, the quality of consciousness?

We'll chant together the mantra, just a simple sound curtain of connectedness.

If you'd like to gently bring the palms together to deepen that sense of heart presence, please do.

Feel the life within you.

Chanting from the heart will inhale together and we'll chant three times.

Chanting from the heart will inhale together and we'll chant three times.

Chanting from the heart will inhale together and we'll chant three times.

Chanting from the heart will inhale together and we'll chant three times.
