Greetings.

I'm Tara Brock and I'd like to welcome you to these podcasts.

While the talks and meditations are offered freely, we'd very much appreciate your support.

Thank you.

As you come into stillness, let the attention come to the heart area.

And just feel the breath gently in that region.

Notice the state of your heart right now.

Where whatever mood or emotion might be here, what level of sensitivity or maybe there's a quality of numbness or cutoffness.

That in each judgment, just with kind of a curious, friendly attention.

Notice how it is.

As you continue listening inwardly, listen for what your heart's intention is.

What is it your heart longs for?

Your heart's purpose or aspiration for practicing right now.

For meditating.

As you inquire, you might have a prepackaged response just about of that.

And then listen even more deeply.

Just keep asking yourself what's most true.

Is it for increased presence in your life?

More open-heartedness.

More realization of what's truth or true.

More peace.
