I'm coming to stillness making yourself at home, right?

In this moment, perhaps feeling the movement of the breath, becoming aware of your body

sitting here breathing, and let your attention gather in the area of the heart.

You can connect with whatever feelings or mood is right here, right in this moment.

And asking yourself, what is my deepest intention right now for being here?

For coming to practice meditation?

What is it my heart really longs for?

What is most sincere for you?

My heart, aspiration, that are practicing together, be of benefit, wake up the hearts and minds,

our own and of all beings.

Feeling this body sitting here breathing, you might extend and lengthen the in-breath so

that you're filling the lungs, a long deep in-breath, and a slow out-breath releasing,

letting go, letting go, again a nice full deep in-breath, and releasing the breath slowly,

feeling the sensations of letting go, relaxing outward, and again a long deep in-breath,

and a slow out-breath, relaxing, letting go, and allowing the breath to resume and its

natural rhythm.

Where of the quality of presence sits right here?

Gently scanning through the body, noticing if there's areas of habitual tightness or tension,

softening where possible, you might bring the awareness to the shoulders and sense the

movement of dissolving of ice to water.
