The following meditation is led by Tara Brock.

please visit tarabrock. Oh. Oh. Oh. You might let your attention really rest in the area of the heart, breathing in and out of your heart,

sensing really what brings you here, what your intention is for coming to meditation

practice, for the spiritual path.

What is it that matters to you?

The invitation is to feel your own sincerity, what you care about.

It's from that caring and our shared aspiration that our practice of meditation might awaken these hearts

in a way that really helps heal our world.

In the stillness you might sense that you can soften your eyes, let your brow be smooth.

Let a sense of a smile spread through the eyes, as if the outer edges could be lifted slightly.

You just feel the softening that can happen in that region of the face.

A slight smile at the mouth, and sense the inside of the mouth smiling.

Notice can you let the tongue fill the lower palate?

And can you relax the tongue down to the root?

Opening to the sensations that fill the mouth, gums, the teeth, the lips.

I'm feeling the whole face.

Perhaps the light and dark at the eyes, the quivering,

tingling, vibrating through the face, the scalp and the skull.

And feeling inside, the whole brain, face down to the neck, waking up.

Allowing the shoulders to fall away from the neck.

You see if you can feel the shoulders from the inside out.
