So just allowing all the words,
All the interactions,
All the sounds,
All the sounds,
All the sounds.
All the interactions to drift away.
You don't have to remember anything.
We can just trust that by being here this morning we will have been changed,
Affected,
Touched,
Moved.
Coming back to those points of contact with the ground.
Bringing awareness to sensations there.
The stillness that's always there.
And aware of the upper body rising into space.
Spend a bit of time opening to sounds,
Just letting sounds arise and pass in their own time,
In their own way.
No need to block anything out.
And connecting with the breath,
Sensations of breathing,
This living,
Breathing body receiving air and giving it back.
Intimately connected with our environment.
And then breathing our way into the heart center once again.
So we could be aware of how and if things are different than they were earlier this morning when we came into relationship with the heart.
How is it now?
Allowing for whatever thoughts and feelings are bouncing around just now.
Just aware of your own deep desire for belonging,
Connection,
Intimacy.
And aware that we all share that deep desire.
So just dwelling there for a while.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
And if there's any parts of you that have emerged over the morning that are calling for your attention,
The invitation now is to just really invite that part in,
Really meeting it as much as you can with unconditional love.
Breathing with it,
Sitting with it.
The tenderness.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm just taking a bit of time to be aware of others here in the room with us,
How special it is to have been on this journey together this morning.
Just appreciating this unique gathering of individuals.
And for a few moments,
Just doing nothing,
Just allowing all to be as it is.
And again,
If you'd like,
You could rest back a bit in the posture,
Put the hands,
Palm up on the lap.
You could even open the eyes with a soft focus.
You could imagine all the pores of your skin totally open,
No boundaries,
Willing to receive anything and everything.
Listen to the bell together.
Okay.
