So,
Yeah,
Just for settling into your seat,
Or if you're standing or walking,
Settling into the body in whatever posture you're in right now,
And connecting,
Just connecting with yourself,
Connecting with your body,
With your breath.
And just notice the attitude in the mind right now.
And if there's any clenching or striving,
Even if it's striving to pay attention,
See if you can just let that go.
And see if you can place the attention on the breath in the body,
Just the body breathing or the sound in your environment,
Whichever is most supportive for you,
And place it there with so much gentleness and so much care,
You know,
Like a precious object,
2,
000 years old,
Beautiful,
Delicate,
Just place the attention.
And when the mind wanders,
Replace the attention.
And see if there's generosity present,
You know,
Maybe not the generosity of here,
Take what I have and giving somebody something off your plate,
But more like,
Oh,
Whatever is present is welcome.
Gently,
Lovingly coming back to the breath or to the sounds in your environment,
And whatever is happening is welcome.
And just seeing how being here together,
Sitting quietly,
Breathing,
Listening,
That practice is in alignment with what feels right for you to be doing right now,
You're here,
And maybe even enables you to let go a little bit more of any concerns just for right now.
Just the invitation to take this sense of generosity and ethical choice,
And this settled mind that has hopefully arisen for you or already was there,
Take that with you out into your day.
