Just sense what inside you wants to soften, what wants to let go a little.

See if you can relax your heart and let your attention come to the heart area.

Helps to feel your breath there.

We begin our formal meditation with a simple reflection on aspiration.

So the invitation is to sense what it is that brings you here,

what's your deepest intention right now for this meditation. See if you can invite or listen to what you feel most sincere about. feeling the body breathing the body breathing

and with a conscious attention extending extending the in-breath so it's long and slow, filling the lungs.

And then extending the out breath so it's long and slow. Releasing the breath so you can feel the sensations of letting go.

Again, a long, slow in-breath.

You may feel the count of four

and you're going to be matching the out breath, again, long and slow, the count of four and you're going to be matching the out breath again long and slow, the count of

four without pausing between the in-breath and the out-breath continuing in this way. I'm . . sensing with the in breath or relaxing open to receive.

And with the out breath of releasing outward, slow in-breath and out-breath, gently bringing the attention and

feeling the breath at the brow.

So you're breathing in and out and feeling the sensations at the brow and softening the eyes.

As if you could smile into the eyes, letting the brow be smooth.

Breathing in and contacting the sensations that are here.

Breathing out and softening, releasing, sensing the space that everything's floating in. Continuing the breath as you feel a slight smile at the mouth.

Letting the inside of the mouth smile.

Relaxing down to the root of the tongue and feeling the aliveness inside the mouth. You might sense as you breathe in that you can contact those sensations fully.
