So let's begin.

And you can start just by feeling the heft of your physical form,

The weightedness,

The way you're drawn down to the earth.

And the drawing down comes both from inside you,

That there's a heaviness,

That there's a solidity to your form.

And it also comes from the earth,

Who is clutching you to her.

You're never not in relationship.

It's never just you.

So try to let the weightedness fall down through the vertebra of your spine evenly.

So find a way where you can feel that your head is perfectly balanced on your spine.

Each vertebra stacked gently,

Simply,

Easily on top of each other.

And then your jaw can relax and your shoulders can relax and your brain can relax.

When your tongue relaxes,

Your throat relaxes.

Your throat and your esophagus and your stomach,

They're all connected to your tongue,

The root of your tongue.

So when you soften the root of your tongue,

The whole digestive tract can soften.

Alright.

We expend a lot of energy in tensing against the pull of gravity.

So right now just give yourself to it.

Give your way to the earth knowing that it is received.

Even the energy of the mind,

Your thoughts,

And your thinking process can drop down to your heart.

Just kind of soften and float downwards to your heart.

When your heart,

The muscle of your heart,

The weight of your heart rests right on your breathing diaphragm.

When you inhale and the breathing diaphragm lifts,

Your heart tilts back just a tiny bit.

And when you exhale and your breathing diaphragm drops,

Your heart is drawn down and lengthened a little bit.

And it's not because the heart is doing something.

The heart is resting and riding on the waves of breath.

The lungs expand around it and press into the heart.

The casing,

The wrapping of the lungs pressing into the heart.

And then when you exhale,

The heart relaxes into the space that's created.

That's the muscle of your heart.

That's the weighted physical body of your heart.

Inside there,

And inside is relative,

But within the inside of your heart.

There's a vast open silent space.

It's not outside.

It's not somewhere else.

It's right in the inner cave of your heart.

Silent still.

Fast.

Go there now.

Enter that silence.

More silence.
