The following meditation is led by Tara Brock, meditation teacher, psychologist and author.

And as you close your eyes and come into stillness, see if you can really make yourself at home

right in this moment. Relax back a bit.

So it's kind of an invitation to yourself to just be at ease.

Notice if there's any parts of the body you can just by noticing let go a little.

Perhaps extending the in-breath some so it's more full, breathing in deeply.

And breathing out slowly. Feel the sensations of releasing the breath.

And again, let's do an extended, nice, deep, full in breath.

And release the breath slowly, relaxing outward, letting go.

And once more, inhaling deeply.

And releasing letting go, letting go.

And then allowing the breath to come back into its natural rhythm,

letting the senses be awake.

Aware of the sounds around you.

Aware of the aliveness in the body, the sensations.

And with a kind of gentle listening attention, come close into the heart.

If you can feel into whatever the state of your heart is right now, just notice what it's like.

Listening to and feeling your heart.

With that listening, let your heart communicate whatever want or longing or intention is here right now for this evening.

It's really listening to what matters to your heart.

What is it that brings you here? What do you want to experience or touch?

Open to.
