... Take some moments just to listen.

Listening and aware of the sounds around you.

See if you can listen in a global way, letting everything in completely receptive.

Listening to the close in sounds, the sounds of these words,

the sounds of these words, spaces between sounds, listening to the space in the room, listening to the more distant sounds.

Sensing the vastness of awareness that includes you in the most distant sound.

Notice saying how Noticing how with listening you can't control anything,

and sounds spontaneously arise and move and disappear on their own.

Relaxed, receptive, attention. Listening is one of the great templates for pure wakefulness and awareness.

Awake space, receptive.

Nothing to do. Acceptive.

Nothing to do.

You can offer this same listening presence inwardly.

I gently scan through the body, listening to and feeling the aliveness.

Perhaps starting with the region of the eyes. to in feeling the aliveness.

Perhaps starting with the region of the eyes, maybe softening a little.

Very receptive presence, just noticing the sensations as they are.

Vibration, pressure, flow, maybe the flickering of light and darkness at the lids. Being aware of the region of the mouth, perhaps a slight smile to enhance receptivity.

It's feeling from the inside out the tongue, the gums, teeth, lips.

Receptive. Listening to and feeling the aliveness. You might allow the shoulders relax back and down some.
