Take a few moments to set yourself in whatever position you'd like to be in for the next

oh 20 minutes or so for practicing and as you're ready to close your eyes

and with your eyes closed feel that kind of arriving or settling. Just notice

your attention coming right here into the moment. Let yourself be at home in the moment.

As a way of supporting that we'll do a little breathing together some long deep breaths.

So extending the in breath, breathing in and you might count to four or five as you do, filling the chest and the lungs.

Gliding right into the out breath, counting to four or five, slow, smooth release.

And then that slow out breath and sense of letting go as you breathe out, relaxing outward, releasing.

And again the in breath counting to four or five.

And a slow, smooth out breath letting go, letting go.

Again breathing in long and deep.

Exhaling slowly, see if you can soften down the length of the body as you release the breath.

And then allowing the breath to resume in its natural rhythm,

observing, feeling the breath.

And noticing the quality of presence that has begun to emerge.

This presence can grow as you scan through the body now, relaxing and opening.

You might let the eyes be soft and sense the brow smooth.

Just feeling the tingling and vibrating in the area of the eyes, perhaps a flicker of light and darkness.

Bringing a slight smile to the lips.

And sense the smile on the inside of the mouth.
