Sitting in a way that's at ease, you relax, whatever can relax.

Taking a few full breaths together to collect the attention, so inhale deeply, filling

the lungs, and then a slow out breath.

Remember that you're consciously releasing and feeling the sensations of letting go.

And then again, another full in breath, more full and deep than normal.

And slowly breathing out, softening down the length of the body as you release the breath.

And again, inhaling deeply.

And exhaling slowly, feel the sensations of letting go, letting go, letting go.

And then as the breath comes back to its normal rhythm, let the attention rest there in a

gentle way. So you can feel the possibility of relaxing open with the in breath, like a balloon

inflating, opening to receive yielding, and exhaling, settling, settling, releasing.

Sensing the quality of presence it's here in just a few short moments of intentionally

paying attention.

Sensing the presence at the heart, so you can listen and feel the heart, and sense into your

intention for tonight.

So tune into what matters to you.

And the way you know you've connected with a very, an alive aspiration is you'll feel

a quality of sincerity, a kind of genuineness.

What is it that matters?

What is it you want to connect to, or remember, or touch into, or discover?

So we bring our attentions together as community with the simple chanting of Om, which is the

sound current of connectedness.
