Hello and welcome. Thank you for joining me in this meditation where we will explore the living body through our senses. So if you're ready to begin, You can find yourself in a comfortable seated position. Gently closing your eyes. And directing your awareness inward. And taking this moment to just notice. Any sensation within you now. Noticing what happens naturally. The flow of your breath. The rise and fall of your diaphragm that follows. The expansion. And contraction. The beating of your heart. And the electromagnetic pulse that follows it. All of this happens naturally. Without you needing to do anything. So can you also allow yourself to be here? Knowing that there is nothing else for you to do. Nowhere else for you to be. But fully present here now. As you allow yourself to be here in the fullness of your experience. Now bringing your awareness to your sense of touch. As you feel the connection between your body and the ground that holds you. Feeling the strength and stability. Knowing that you are supported. Noticing any other points of contact. With your body. Where your hands fall. And meat. With your arms relaxed down by your sides. The way your clothing drapes over your body. Are there any other sensations that you can feel? Perhaps the temperature. Is it warmer or cooler? Is there a subtle breeze? Or is it still? Just taking a moment here to notice. What you can feel. Now bring your awareness. To your sense of taste. Noticing if there's any flavors. Noticing the texture of your saliva. Just simply observing here. Now bring your awareness to your sense of smell. Are there any smells present here with you? Even just subtle. Into your sense of hearing. Are there any sounds within your field right now? Are they distant or are they near? Are they loud or are they. Just faint enough. Then you might usually overlook them. Just simply observing. And now staying in this meditative state, Gently opening your eyes. I'm just observing What is present with you within this field? What can you see in front of you? Without placing any meaning or attachment to them. Just simply observing. And now allowing your awareness to expand. Into the greater field. Bringing all of the sensation together. Into one body. Feeling everything all at once. Feeling the pulse of life. That not only moves through you, But experiences life itself through you. Nothing to do. Nowhere to go. Just allowing yourself to fully be. Be here. Gently begin to deepen your breath. Fuller inhale. And a deeper exhale. Feeling the body become more awake. More alive. More present. You can bring a gentle movement into your body. Perhaps a little stretch of the spine. Little wiggle of your fingers and toes. And when you're ready. . . Carrying on. Bringing this vital presence within you. Into the rest of your day.
