The inquiry is what your intention is for practicing, for meditating, for being here.

What's your, what's this in? for meditating, for being here.

What's your, what's the sincerity in your heart right now? What really matters to you? You might let yourself be aware of the whole experience of sitting here, the sensations of the body,

aware of your body breathing.

And consciously extending the in breath, so it's a nice, full, deep in breath.

And then a slow out breath, slow enough so you can feel the sensations of letting go.

And then again a full deep in breath, filling the chest, spilling the lungs. And a slow out breath, feeling the sensations as they release the breath going out.

Continuing with a full deep in-breadth.

And a long, slow out breath. So you're matching the length of the in-breath and the out-breath, not pausing in between.

Breathing in, opening to receive.

And breathing out, releasing outward, relaxing, letting go.

Continuing, nice, long, full full deep in breath.

Slow out breath. If you are counting, it might be six seconds in and six seconds out. I'm I'm I'm and I'm . And then allowing the breath to resume in its natural rhythm.

Letting your body be breathed.

Noticing the quality of presence that's here. I'm taking some moments to gently scan through the body.

Relaxing, releasing.

You might sense the area of the brow.

Just let the brow be smooth, the eyes soft.

Slight smile at the mouth.
