This is a 15 minute pocket of peace where we practice being ape.

Dk Please start by finding a posture that is stable and comfortable.
Then gently close your eyes and for a moment just allow yourself to rest in the awareness of your body.
Take a moment to align yourself with the intention of this meditation.
This meditation is about practicing being ape which is about being aware and equanimous.
Observing and accepting reality as it is.
If you can be aware and equanimous now,
Cultivating patience,
Acceptance,
Gratitude and observing every sensation as if for the first time,
You can carry this state of mind with you throughout the day and in doing so experiencing real peace,
Harmony and happiness.
Now allow your attention to rest on the breath,
The physical sensation of the breath.

If you find that the mind wanders,
Notice the difference between being inside a thought and being aware of it.
When you are aware of thinking,
You are conscious of the act of thinking and then instead of trying to force the mind to be different than it is,
Simply observe it and accept it and then practice letting go.

As our mind settles,
We can start to notice the difference between being in the mind and being in the mind.
As our mind settles,
We can start to notice the sensations in our body and we do that by scanning the body from top to bottom and bottom to top.
So if you reach all the way to your toes,
Simply go backwards up to your head again.
Move your attention through the body in the same order every time and when you sense something,
Either move on or stay with it for a moment.
If you don't feel any sensations in an area,
Rest your attention there for half a minute or so and then move on to the next area,
Simply observing and accepting whatever sensation or lack thereof.
Now start by allowing your attention to rest on the top of your head and then slowly move down,
Allowing yourself to get a sense of every inch of your body.

As you go through the body,
Slowly and deliberately,
Part by part,
Remember that you are safe and sound here.
You are sitting comfortably and whatever sensations manifest themselves,
They all share the same characteristic of arising and passing away.
Practice observing and accepting reality as it is.
Now practice observing and accepting reality as it is.

You may continue on your own or as always take a moment to appreciate life,
To cultivate love and kindness and loving acceptance of yourself and others.
Thank you for meditating with me.
