And sense the movement of the breath of the heart as if you could be breathing in

and out of the heart.

We begin in a simple way sensing our intention,

what really brings you here to meditate as community,

whether it's geographically right here are more of a, in the field field in the cloud community.

Just feel what draws you to practice. to this path of presence of heart. What's your intention right now for this sitting, for this time together, what really matters to you. listening inward to where you feel most sincere. imagining an open blue sky extending in all directions,

and sensing that sky filled with the curve of a smile, that kind of upliftment, that receptivity.

And imagine your mind merging with that sky. So your mind is filled with that smile, with the feeling and the

sense and the image of that smile spreading through the eyes.

The outer corners lifted a little, the eyes soft, the brow smooth.

And notice the aliveness and the whole region of the brow as you relax and sense the space of a smile. Allow a slight smile,

slight smile spread on the lips

and feel that smile at the inside of your mouth.

Relaxing the tongue right down to the root.

And sense how the image and sense how the image and the smile allows the mouth to fill with aliveness,

gums, teeth, tongue, lips. Allow the shoulders to fall away from the neck.

Sense these shoulders is filled with awareness.

So you feel them from the inside.

Letting whatever tightness or tension is there, float.
