Feeling your body breathing and sensing the breath in particular in the area of the heart,

with the kind of interlisening, sensing the state of your heart right now.

And deepening that listening to sense what is your intention for meditation right now, which

is your deepest intention for practice.

This is the inquiry of what really matters to your heart.

Feel your own sincerity, your longing for presence, longing to be open-hearted, deep realization,

waking up.

To feel our collective intention that these trainings of heart and mind bring a healing that

can ripple out to be a benefit to our world.

One of the most direct portals to presence is waking up awareness of the life of the body.

You might begin in a simple way by softening the eyes.

As if you're smiling into the eyes.

Let the eyes be soft.

Let the brow be smooth.

Feel the, perhaps, the fluttering of your lids, the brightness or darkness, the sensation

of tingling or vibrating.

Let it spread through the face.

You might have a slight smile at the mouth.

Let the inside of the mouth be smiling.

Let the tongue fill the lower palate, relaxing if you can down to the root of the tongue.
