So finding a comfortable posture,
Whatever will support you today.
And let's just bring the attention first to the body.
How is the body doing?
And maybe there's a little adjustment that you want to make before coming to stillness.
I'm going to do that.
And then seeing if you can locate the sensation of the breath at either the nostrils,
The rising and falling of the chest,
Or the filling and emptying of the belly.
The sensation of the breath at one of those three places.
And then just this very kind invitation to come back to the breath,
To bring the attention to the breath and to rest there.
Take a refuge there.
And whenever the mind wanders,
Or you notice,
If you're gone,
You're gone,
But if,
When you notice,
Just making that choice,
The choice that comes from wisdom,
The wisdom of knowing the benefit of training the mind,
And also compassion and caring about yourself.
Make that choice to come back,
Bring the attention back to the breath,
Reaching out a kind hand to the wandering mind and just encouraging it back to the breath.
Good to be with you today.
Take good care.
Be safe out there.
I'll see you next Thursday.
