Okay so to get started please find a comfortable position whether seated or lying down and bring a sense of presence to your breath and body and at this moment you may like to close your eyes and allow yourself to relax and become more and more still and more and more present now gently bring your attention on the breath noticing the sensation of the breath the gentleness of the breath allowing the natural rhythm of the breath to be exactly as it is at this present moment just noticing the breath in its natural rhythm whether shallow or deep it matters not but to just just notice the breath just notice the breath and the gentleness and the calmness of the rhythmic flow of the breath the inhalation and the exhalation feel it sense it bring close attention gentle attention to the breath now follow the breath follow the breath into the nostrils feeling the sensation of the air as it flows into the nostrils into the back of the throat feeling the coolness at the back of the throat and follow the breath all the way down the esophagus into the lungs and belly and notice the gentle rising and falling of the chest and belly as you allow yourself to sink deeper into the present moment allowing yourself to sink deeper into the present moment allowing your body and mind to become relaxed and gentle returning to your natural state of being returning to your natural state of peace your natural state and the natural state of all of life plants and animals so we return to our natural state of peace and harmony as we let go of the judgmental mind just letting go of thoughts letting go of emotions not ignoring them or denying them but fully accepting them embracing them but also acknowledging their impermanence their rising and passing and the constant change that arises and passes away a thought arises and passes away then another thought arises and passes away and yet you are still there in presence in pure presence you are beyond thought beyond imaginations beyond memories and beliefs beyond who you think you are there you are all those thought forms of who you think you are are just conditions of the environment they have no absolute form reality other than conditions of what you were told or what you thought you were and for a moment we let go of all the labels and all the thoughts and simply remain in presence returning and remaining in presence feeling the liveness and aliveness of the present moment within expand your awareness beyond the breath into the rest of your body becoming aware of your hands and your legs and your feet your belly and chest and back your face your eyes your cheeks your scalp bring presence into every cell and every atom of your body become present to every cell every atom and breathe as though you breathe into every cell and every atom of your body and as you return to presence and for a moment you let go of the thinking mind the conditioned mind the judgmental mind and yet in this presence you're also in loving presence of everything that there is including the mind itself and showing kindness to all phenomena that arises and passes away in the framework of your presence and how expansive it's this presence how expansive is your presence beyond who you think you are you are so much more and this vastness of your presence is beyond imagination beyond understanding yes all experience arises and passes away in this framework in this presence and this pure presence is unconditioned it was exactly how it is now as it was when you were five years old eight,

Ten,

Twenty one and it will remain to be exactly as it is when you take your last breath and leave the body your presence remains everything else perishes arises and passes birth and death all the cycles of life and that is natural and in this present moment you see the beauty in that and in that beauty and in that stillness there is love in its unconditioned and unconditional form and you see it clearly now that it comes from an infinite place beyond the mind and body an infinite place that permeates all time and space even beyond the arising and passing of all forms and the universe itself and creation there you have returned to the cradle of life you have returned home you have returned to God not in its imagined form but in its essence infinite form that cannot be comprehended or labeled or named beyond imagination,

Memory,

Stories returning to the infinite loving presence that's already within you always and that can be projected onto everything and anything and heal,

Rejuvenate,

Restore and replenish so remain and return and continue this cycle as many times as you can and as many times as you can remember throughout the day and night throughout your life at every moment return to your breath and body and return to God again and again and rejuvenate and restore and heal yourself,

Your heart,

Your mind,

Your body your relationships with the world,

With others,

With nature,

With the planet return again and again at every moment remain in loving presence allow yourself to be nourished nurtured in this loving presence of God within you and in all creation it is always there,

Always has been and always will be even beyond the arising and passing of forms of our physical bodies of physical forms that arise and pass there is that infinite loving presence that is always there that light,

That shining loving presence and every form arises and passes yet the infinite remains so allow yourself to feel that reality beyond the arising and passing of the ephemeral,

Of the form and in that there is trust and peace and love incomprehensible by the mind,

Uncaused,

Unconditioned so allow yourself to rest in that peace and know you have access to it anytime and anywhere no matter who you are,

Where you are,

What you have done or not done return to this love and feel the infinite,

Unconditional and unconditioned loving presence of God within and without and even none of these words can touch the infinite but your own presence can and all we're doing is pointing you to that presence so that you may feel that within your own being beyond having new beliefs about something beyond the belief in God,

Experience God within yourself and the knowledge and experience is far more valuable than any story and any belief but none of that can ever touch the infinite,

The way you are now know that you have access to this anytime and anywhere no special requirements other than your own presence,

Your own breath,

Your own body no particular situation,

Circumstance anytime and anywhere return to the breath,

Return to the body return to God and gain a new perspective on life from that angle of presence from that place your thoughts will be clear your actions arise from stillness from peace and love and so you manifest that same quality in your life,

In your relationships and from there you begin to heal yourself,

Others and the world from the depth of your being and from the source the more this state becomes your natural state,

Your dominant state presence will become your natural state throughout your day and night there will be peace and love within you not because of anything happening outside of you but simply because you're connected to the divine at every moment every moment that you experience suffering it is a signal that you have forgotten to be present again to be present with God so simply return to your breath,

To your body,

To presence,

To God practice this as many times as you can throughout the day and night until presence is next your natural state,

Becomes your natural state the body and the breath are anchors to the present moment withdrawing energy from the judgmental thinking mind that separates reality into bits that separates and creates suffering but your own presence,

Your own loving presence brings healing to the mind,

To the heart,

To the body,

To relationships,

To the world that is all and it is accessible to everyone,

To all of us so return again and again return home return to stillness,

To presence,

Return to love the infinite love,

The unconditioned,

Unconditional,

Uncaused,

Infinite love that has always been and always will be permeating all time and space,

Every cell,

Every atom and it only takes one breath,

One presence,

One stillness to recognize and return and from there everything else that needs to happen will happen in that space you recognize the power of surrender and so much more throughout your day and night no matter whether you are working or commuting or sitting or walking conversing with someone or simply alone by yourself return,

Return to the breath,

Return to the body,

Return to stillness and return to God through your own presence and let yourself be nourished and healed nothing else is required here all else in the world is details everything else arises and passes away so allow yourself to be present thank you for taking time to return thank you for taking time to join us today to reconnect with what matters most beyond life in its physical form but that very thing that nourishes the physical the ephemeral cradle of love,

Life to return and recognize the infinite again and that loving presence tells all of the natural state of life,

The natural state of the universe and we learn to let go of false identities we've created all of our lives and let go and connect to others,

To humanity,

To nature seeing everything as part of us everyone is part of us we're all part of each other you let go of these false identities that generate conflict and return home,

Return to God again and again may God bless each and every one of you may you be in presence may you be at peace and in the loving presence of God at every moment so that you will be healed,

Your relationships will be healed may our planets be healed may all find peace and happiness in presence in God God bless each and every one of you please know that your presence impacts not just you and your relationships but it will impact our planet your loving presence vibrates and permeates time and space so be in presence for not just your sake but for the sake of all of us
