Summary

In this guided meditation, we are invited to rest in the aliveness of the present moment. Beginning with a reflection on intention, the practice guides attention through the body—softening, sensing, and allowing life to flow just as it is.

With mindful awareness of breath, sound, and sensation, we reconnect with the heart and release into presence. A closing chant and a poem by Rumi deepen the invitation to surrender and come home to the wholeness of being.

4:24.7	Just softening a little. Let the awareness scan down the body to see how fully we can feel a quality of presence,
