One of my favorite teachings from Ticknot Han, who's a Zen master, is that it's not

enough to suffer.

We also have the touch piece.

We also have the touch well-being.

So today's meditations really, and invitation, as much as is possible for our own body, mind,

just let go and relax a bit to taste that timeless piece.

It's here when we begin to settle a bit.

And so in that spirit we'll begin in a very simple way where you might just invite your

attention inward, invite yourself into the present moment.

And sometimes that means first checking your posture, how you're sitting and making

yourself comfortable, adjusting in the ways that give you a sense of balance and uprightness

so you're alert and also real ease.

They're settling your body.

And as you become more still physically, allow your attention to go inward.

And just notice what it's like right now.

Notice the feelings in your body, notice that your body's breathing.

Then with a conscious intention, begin to lengthen your breath so that it's a long, slow

in breath.

You might count to five with the in breath.

And then a matched out breath counting to five with the out breath.
