So finding your posture for this sit and bringing whatever uprightness is available to you right now to your practice.
The uprightness of the body and the dignity of doing something really important for yourself.
And just beginning by sensing into the body either sitting or standing or walking or lying down or driving.
And seeing,
You know,
How am I feeling today?
I hope you're feeling better than me but see how am I feeling today?
And whatever you're noticing in the body,
Whatever you're noticing in the body,
Can you just be with it?
Maybe there are pleasant sensations,
Maybe there are unpleasant sensations.
Maybe it's neither.
But whatever you notice,
Can you just be with it?
Just noticing the body breathing and how the body feels.
And then also checking in what's going on in the mind.
And yeah,
Maybe there are thoughts.
If you're a lawyer,
If you're a human,
There's probably thoughts.
And yeah,
Just letting that be fine as well.
Just observing.
Oh,
That's just the way it is.
Not wanting more stillness in the mind or yearning for more stillness in the mind.
Just being with things just as they are right now.
Or noticing that there is yearning,
That there is wanting things to be different in some way in the body,
In the mind.
And letting it be okay that that's there,
Relaxing at that next level.
Oh,
Yearning is happening.
Wanting things to be other than they are is just happening.
And then letting go there.
Or maybe an emotion crops up,
And it wasn't the emotion that you were hoping for.
And just noticing,
Oh,
That's what's happening.
And then letting go.
Or noticing that it wasn't the emotion you wanted,
And then letting go of that.
And then for the last minute,
We have together,
Maybe just calling up some gratitude for yourself for this beautiful practice and your energy and your devotion to,
Yeah,
Exploring the mind and letting go and maybe having a little less struggle.
