So for today,
Let's begin.
And bringing your attention first to body.
And recognizing how the state of our body invites our mind's presence.
And so that's why we take a moment or two to settle into a posture which promotes wakefulness.
And so having feet comfortably placed upon the floor.
Feeling the floor supporting the soles of your feet.
And determining how your back is today.
Do you need the support at the back of the chair and seated a little further back or perhaps?
Sliding forward a little bit in the chair.
And not precariously perched on the front of the chair,
But a comfortable position where you feel the support of the chair upon thighs and bottom and back is unsupported.
And whether you need back support or not,
Inviting this rising up of spine.
From pelvis up through.
Low back Mid back and up through neck.
And then up through the top of skull rising up towards sky.
Nothing forced or rigid,
Simply this comfortable rising up.
And then perhaps shoulder roll or two.
Noticing tension or tightness in the shoulders and inviting a loosening and lowering of the shoulder blade and shoulder and torso.
Arms draping down from shoulders.
Hands finding a comfortable resting place.
Perhaps hands resting on thighs or cupped within lap whichever you prefer in this moment.
Inviting the weight of head to be supported atop spine and shoulders.
Loosening of jaw.
Lips either gently touching or slightly parted again,
Whichever you prefer in this moment.
And then deciding eyes opened or closed.
And if you're feeling a little sleepiness and eyes open,
Inviting in the light can further invigorate wakefulness divine.
Or if you prefer Lens Lowering.
And close dives.
And arriving into this space-time of here,
Now.
With your attention.
Sort of feeling your way into the physical space that you find yourself in this moment.
One helpful way to begin to enter into your physical space is just opening to the sounds around you.
Or if eyes are open.
Danny Arguetty.
And so through the senses,
Even.
Expanding out to your skin as well and the temperature and the movement of air.
Using sensory doorways to move out of that mental chatter.
And really arriving into the physical space that's around you in this moment.
What's it like to?
Really physically arrive in this space.
Recognizing that I myself am part of this space and letting that boundary between self and environment perhaps begin to thin,
Dissipate.
A sense of oneness with the space that you find yourself in.
Now further arriving within body by bringing your attention to the physical sensations of body breathing.
Wherever you find it easiest to make contact with this experience of breathing.
Perhaps the rise and fall of chest and belly.
Or air moving in and out of nodes.
A few fuller breaths.
Little longer inhale.
Little longer exhale.
Can provide a little more energy into body,
Awakening mind a little more.
After a few fuller breaths,
Then letting body fall into a natural rate and rhythm of breathing in this moment.
Further embodying our presence.
In this physical space.
Within body as well.
Then with each in-breath,
Inviting your awareness to begin to spread a little further.
Out from chest.
Danny Arguetty.
Rising up neck and into head.
Danny Arguetty.
Have.
And feed.
In-breath becomes a way of expanding your awareness from head to toe and fingertip to fingertip.
With this expanding awareness,
If you happen to encounter Maybe an area of.
Maybe some blockage or discomfort within body.
And the out breath,
Inviting a letting go,
Not forcing,
Just creating a space for some movement of.
This blockage within.
Blockage of awareness,
Which Sometimes there could be a little emotion hanging out underneath that,
Part of the package of being human.
So with the breathing in expanding awareness to all corners of body.
Any sort of unpleasantness that may be uncovered.
We're not trying to push it away.
We're just inviting some movements.
At least the stockness that we find within.
Remember,
We're not trying to achieve any perfect or ideal state.
It's simply inviting our and your experience to flow as it naturally does.
Feeling how that flow further connects us with our physical space right now.
Danny Arguetty.
Shifts and changes and just coming into contact with that.
So during these next few moments of silence,
Inviting ourselves to come in contact with this experience of flow.
Around us and our environment and within as well.
Breathing.
Observing this unfolding moment.
Noticing where we may experience some stuckness.
Inviting contact with flow wherever it may be present from within or without.
Is a partnering to invite a moving through the stuckness.
Back into flow.
Perhaps inviting ourselves for the remainder of today.
That we're a little more familiar with the sense of stuckness.
And in the moment.
True body breathing,
Inviting flow back in.
With whatever we're focused on or working on at the moment.
Opening eyes,
If they were closed,
Inviting in the light.
Some slow,
Gentle movement to begin transitioning from meditation into activity again in our day.
Noticing stuckness and inviting flow will be our focus for the day.
So thank you all for joining me and until we meet again.
May you be well.
