Let's begin by finding a comfortable seated position with a straight posture and setting an intention for the practice.
This will be mainly a listening practice,
But I'd like to suggest gratitude for our focus.
Let's give thanks to the saints and sages and scientists that have come before us,
That have given us all clues and tools by their insight and work and willingness to share.
They have done this even in the face of ignorance and opposition.
The truths that they have uncovered have made our lives better.
Their consciousness continues to ripple throughout time.
Let's focus in gratitude.
Gratitude for the public servants and all of the people that make our lives better.
Let's focus on our gifts and abilities to serve others in so many ways.
Remember that investing in your practice is also investing in your ability to create change in the world.
Even just offering a smile is service.
Gratitude is the doorway.
Investing in your practice is returning to a world of peace,
One small choice at a time,
One small change at a time.
Centered energy is always within you.
