Opening To Pleasure And Joy

This meditation starts with the invitation to take 3 deep breaths, to ground, and to open to space. We then turn towards the breath; practicing presence and availability to sensations of breathing - being "here" and "with" them. We broaden awareness to the whole body breathing and look for sensations which have a taste of freedom - those pleasurable sensation to which the body itself is saying "yes". From there, we turn towards and enjoy a deeper sense of contentment, joy, and/or expansion. Finally, we finish with a brief period of open awareness/just sitting to soak up the goodness which was discovered and cultivated during the practice.

This meditation has extended periods of explorative silence and, as such, it is it best suited for regular meditators.
