The following meditation is led by Tara Brock.

To access more of my meditations or join my email list,

please visit tarabrock.com. You might let your attention, feeling of your breath be at the heart area.

And then kind of breathing in and out of your heart.

And taking these moments to listen inwardly and ask yourself, what is my deepest, truest intention right now for being here, for meditating?

What is it your heart most longs for.

See if you can feel where you're most sincere.

It takes a few moments sometimes to even begin to listen in and sense what really does matter to me.

Yet the more you're in touch with your intention, the more as you meditate, you'll be reminded again and again

to be right here, to choose presence.

You might feel our shared intention that as we wake up these hearts and minds with meditation,

that that ripple out in a way that's healing for our world.

And we'll come together as community with the chanting of Oom as a way to express our heart, express our caring.

You might bring the palms together in front of the heart.

We'll chant three times.

And begin by taking a nice full in breath.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Our minds and bodies are most comforted and quiet most naturally

when there's a quality of benevolence of kindness,

and atmosphere of caring.

And you can invoke that with the image of a smile,

imagining around you a vast open sky, and then

visualizing the curve of a smile spreading through that sky, the receptivity and openness
