This is a good time to make any adjustments you'd like to how you're sitting.

Make sure you're comfortable and ideally sitting in a way where you're upright enough to

be awake and to be alert.

But also at ease.

You might close your eyes and deep in the settling or not close your eyes, lower your gaze so the

attention can go inward.

And become aware of your body sitting here, aware of the movement of the breath.

You might sense the possibility of relaxing with the breath so that as the breath comes

in there's a kind of opening to receive it.

As if even on a cellular level and the space between the cells, the breath can enter

to be received.

With the out breath, let it go.

So that with each out breath, sense that you can release unnecessary tension or tightness

in the body.

And with the out breath, you might sense you can release unnecessary thoughts that have

been moving through.

You can create kind of a clearing.

And to deepen that presence and ease, you might scan through the body, often start in

the area of the brow because when our eyes are tense, it actually keeps us thinking.

So you might consciously soften the area around the eyes.
