Feel your sitting posture and then make whatever subtle adjustments you'd like to make.

With your eyes closed, you're feeling your way into a sitting posture that allows you

to be balanced where there's a sense of sitting upright so you can be alert and also at ease,

and sense the at ease, you know, letting things relax.

Noticing the settling as you come into stillness.

Feeling aware of your breath of this body breathing.

And you might take a few moments to extend the breath so that this next breath is a long,

deep in breath, perhaps to account for, and then a slow, even out breath to account for.

Breathing in, counting, filling the chest and the lungs.

And again, that slow release, letting go with the release of the breath, and attention or

tightness that possibly wants to release.

And again, breathing in, exhaling, letting go, and then allowing the breath to come back into a natural rhythm.

As you do, becoming aware of the presence that's here.

Noticing how just a few moments of intentionally arriving brings more presence.

And you can deepen that presence with a conscious scanning through the body.

So awareness becomes embodied.

It's living inside you and you can feel that.

You might start with feeling the brow and the eyes and softening the eyes.

It's helpful to imagine and sense a smile spreading through the eyes, lifting the outer

corners, letting the brow be smooth, and opening in a receptive way to all the sensations
