Good morning,
Good afternoon,
Good evening.
So I'm going to read something from.
.
.
Dennis Warren.
I might have had it before,
I think we had a long time ago.
It doesn't matter what happened.
In this moment you can start anew.
It doesn't matter what you did yesterday,
The day before,
Or last year.
It doesn't matter what you thought,
What you said or what you did.
It doesn't matter who you hurt,
Who hurt you or why.
We are not our pasts.
We are not what has happened to us.
We are not what we have done,
If we start anew.
Everything we believe about ourselves is an obstacle to the possibilities in this moment.
In this moment,
In every moment,
In each breath,
Lies the possibility of freedom if we start anew.
Let go of who you think you are,
Of what you think you can do,
Of what you think you can't do,
And of the way you think it is.
Instead,
Just be in this moment.
Be present.
With what is here.
Be willing to listen deeply,
Open to the experience and the life that is waiting for you.
So that's exactly what.
.
.
We're doing here.
The problem is,
See,
We get up to all sorts of shenanigans.
Thinking we need to improve this or get rid of that.
Try a bit more of this.
In our own inherent wisdom.
That which transforms.
Which comes alive.
Get pushed aside.
So to speak.
Similarly,
We don't do anything.
That's a capital D.
We don't do anything.
We turn up.
And we experience what's here,
The sound of the birds or the traffic.
An itchy lip.
Scratch it or not,
Doesn't matter.
A sore back.
Of regret from something we did yesterday,
Or something we said.
Now we get into that story.
It's just this moment,
Just what's happening,
Just experience that.
But don't look for fireworks,
It's not going to happen.
That again is just an obstacle.
Just relax.
Okay.
Let's settle into the body.
And we can use the mantra,
Sharin.
Showering,
And sink with the breath if you need to.
For a few minutes.
Just give up all ideas.
And off we go on our little ride.
Little mental ride.
Enter OK.
And back we come to this present moment cold hands.
Feeling of the breath moving.
The sound of the doves outside.
Where are you now?
And just let go of any trying.
Experiencing is effortless,
It's effortless just to feel.
The feelings,
The bodily sensations.
They're effortlessly happening.
Same with hearing.
Where is the attention?
Just checking you are relaxed,
You are not tense.
Just feel the breath.
Or listen to the sounds.
Relax.
Still lived.
Don't stred.
Where is the attention right now?
Okay,
That brings us to the end of the session.
Or a little stretch.
