So I'm just kind of navigating towards,
So I'm just navigating internally,
Navigating into the body.
Okay.
We can close our eyes gently or look downward to limit visual distractions.
Sometimes it's helpful to wiggle into the body a little bit,
Navigating the physical sensations with our awareness.
Maybe moving your feet around the ground,
Finding a comfortable landing position for the bottoms of our feet,
Touching the earth below with a sense of presence,
Kindness,
Kindness,
Finding a sense of balance on the seat,
And balance between left and right,
Forward and back.
So sitting with some alertness,
So sitting with some alertness,
Embodied presence,
And balance.
How does it feel to be breathing right now?
Breathing this air into our bodies,
Breathing this air back out into the world,
Intimately connected to the body,
With all that's around us and inside us.
These sensations of breathing,
In and out,
Opening to all of these sensations in the body.
This kind awareness.
Continually welcoming this moment,
Allowing the newness of these sensations to unfold,
Opening to the power of being here right now.
All right.
Noticing where we're bringing our awareness,
Whether it's the belly,
The lungs,
Nostrils,
Or the whole body.
Breathing this air into our bodies,
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
This embodied awareness of breathing.
Breathing in and breathing out.
May we breathe with ease.
May we breathe with kindness to our body.
May we breathe with care for connection with the world.
May we breathe with gratitude for each breath.
Breathing in and breathing out.
Maybe taking another couple of deep breaths.
Maybe taking another couple of deep breaths.
Feeling our feet on the ground.
Weight of the body on the seat.
You're wiggling your fingers or toes.
And slowly opening your eyes whenever you're ready.
