As you close your eyes, you might feel from the inside out your sitting posture and make

the small adjustments that help you to feel that you're sitting in a way that's upright,

so you can feel alert sitting tall.

And also at ease, balanced, centered, feeling the spotty breathing.

You might gently bring the attention to the area of the heart.

We're going to reflect for a moment and the inquiry is, what is your most sincere intention

for a practice, for meditation practice, for being here right now?

What is it that really matters to your heart?

And sensing a collective intention that as we wake up, as we become more present, that

ripples out in a way to serve beings everywhere.

Listen to this stillness, you might be aware of listening to sound.

Listen open, receptive listening.

Do you're listening not just with your ears, but your whole awareness?

Listening to the space in the room, listening to the most distant sounds you can detect.

Listen, receptive presence.

It's with the same quality of listening that you can listen to and feel the aliveness

inside the body.

Just receiving sensations.

You might bring the attention to the brow and relax a little there, soften the eyes, let

the brow be smooth.
