So taking a moment to make yourself comfortable.
Making sure that your body is well supported.
Taking a few deep breaths.
Simply being aware that you are breathing.
Whatever you were doing before you came to this practice circle,
You've now transitioned to sitting here to a place of stillness,
Space of tending to yourself.
So simply noticing your breathing,
Noticing your breathing with a sense of kindness for yourself,
A little gratitude that you brought yourself here,
A little sweetness towards yourself.
When you notice your mind is wandering away from your breathing,
Away from yourself,
It's not a problem.
It's actually what the mind is designed to do.
So simply bringing your awareness back to yourself,
Back to your breathing,
Back to your intention of compassion that brought you here to practice today.
And as we start to transition out of this little arriving meditation,
Arriving at our body,
At our breath,
Expanding your awareness out to incorporate all of your body out to your fingers,
Down to your toes,
Maybe starting to move your fingers,
Your toes,
Your wrists,
Your ankles,
Your shoulders,
Your torso,
Just little movements to get in touch with your body.
When you feel ready,
Gently opening your eyes,
You're taking a moment to look around the space that you're in just to reorient yourself to the space that you're in,
Maybe having a little stretch,
Sip of your drink.
