Many people have been asking me over these last days that have been so painful.

Just for simple, direct ways to wake up out of the reactive trance and come home into our bodies and our hearts and our intuition and our wisdom.

And so today we'll start in with our meditation, a homecoming to wakeful presence, and we'll start off by standing up.

So wherever you are, if you will, please come to your feet.

Just find some space where you can stand and you can move your body around a little bit.

And I invite you to stand in a way where your feet are shoulder with a part and then close your eyes.

Take a few full breaths, feeling yourself standing here breathing.

And then bring your attention to your feet.

See if you can relax your feet and let them widen.

So you can feel and imagine and sense your connection to the earth beneath you.

Just become rooted a bit.

Now as you do, feel up into the knees and soften the backs of your knees.

Now placing one hand on your lower belly and the other on your sacrum, see if you can soften your belly.

Just like a two-year-old might with an undefended belly, you know, we regularly contract.

So it helps us to soften over and over again, the belly is where we digest life experience.

So especially when there's a lot of life experience racing through us to soften, to open.

And keeping your palms there, you might invite the tailbone to relax toward the ground.

You may feel only a small movement, that's fine.

Still breathing deeply into the belly, softening.
