The following meditation is led by Tara Brock, meditation teacher, psychologist and author. The Thank you. Sit in a way that allows you to be alert and relaxed.

See, you're upright as well as possible.

And yet you might scan through your body and see what can let go just a little bit right now.

As you sense the movement of the breath, you might bring your attention to the heart

area, imagining and feeling the breath coming in and out of the heart.

And taking a moment to reflect on what brings you here, what brings you to practice

meditation right at this moment, this time

in your life?

What it is that your heart really longs for?

And whether this is the first time you've asked yourself that or the 10,000th, sense

of freshness in the inquiry, let it be absolutely the first time in this moment that

you're sensing into what you care about, what really matters? Aware of the movement of the breath.

You might lengthen the in-breath some, it's a nice, full, deep in-breath.

And then a slow out-breath, feeling the sensations as they leave through the nostrils.

Breathing in a nice full deep in breath.

And a slow out breath, letting go, letting go.

Full deep in breath, letting your breath be. Letting go.

Full deep in breath, letting your breath be smooth, relaxed, out breath.

Letting the breath be completely natural, just feeling the natural movement of the breath.

Awakening awareness by letting our attention fully inhabit our bodies.

In this practice, you might bring your attention to your feet to begin.

Sense the possibility of entering your feet, bringing your awareness and attention completely inside
