The following meditation is led by Tara Brock.

0:30.0

As you become still, let your attention and your awareness fill your body. You might

0:44.6

begin by noticing if there is any part of your body that wants to let go a little.

0:51.6

You might take a few full breaths to collect the attention.

1:05.6

And then awake in the senses. Listen. Listen to the space that is around you. The soft sounds.

1:27.6

Listening in a global way, not just with your ears but with your whole awareness.

1:37.6

Maybe you can detect what's called the sound of silence, that background humble.

1:53.1

Sensing the space of awareness that perceives the sound of silence.

2:08.1

Sensing the stillness that experiences this vibration and aliveness in the body right now.

2:23.1

Can you sense that everything is changing, that nothing is holding still?

2:36.1

Can you open entirely to this changing flow of aliveness? Just to say yes to it.

2:47.1

To let go into the river of the senses. Is there anything that's solid? Is there any center to experience?

3:09.1

Any boundary? Is there any self in this world of sensation? You don't have to think about it.

3:28.1

Keep arriving more and more into this aliveness that's right here. It's like this.

3:57.1

You might explore if it's possible, just to let go a little more into the changing flow, moment to moment.

4:24.1

The poet down a fault-right, settle in the here and now, reach down into the center where the world is not spinning and drink this holy peace.

4:49.1

Feel relief flood into every cell. Nothing to do, nothing to be but what you are already. Nothing to receive but what flows effortlessly from the mystery into form.

5:08.1

Nothing to run from or run toward. Just this breath, awareness knowing itself as embodiment.

5:21.1

Just this breath, awareness waking up to truth.

5:51.1

Thank you.
