Greetings. I'm Tara Brock and I'd like to welcome you to these podcasts. While the talks

and meditations are offered freely, we'd very much appreciate your support. To make

a donation or learn more about my schedule, please visit tarabrock.com and our IMCW.org.

Thank you.

As a way of arriving more fully, take some moments to scan through your body, bring the

attention really from the mind into this living body. You might soften the eyes, let the

brow be smooth, let the jaw be unhinged, let the slight smile at the mouth, letting the

shoulders fall away from the neck, relaxing back and down. See if you can feel the shoulders

from the inside out, letting whatever tightness or tension might be there, just float a bit,

perhaps untangle in awareness.

Soften in the hands, feeling the hands from the inside out, and softening them some more.

See if you can be receptive to the energy in the hands, the vibrating or tingling, the

liveliness there. Let there be an openness to the chest, that kind of undefended heart,

feeling the heart from the inside out, just aware of the sensations, the way energy plays there.

Letting this next breath be received in a softening belly, this breath. And now this one.

And again, scanning down and relaxing through the pelvic region, again, feeling the life from the inside out,

receptive and at ease.

You might sense the length, the volume of your legs.

Right down into the feet, filling the feet from the inside out, aware of the tingling,

vibrating and aliveness there.

So if you widen the lens now, you can feel simultaneously this whole body as a field

of sensation.
