Find a place to sit comfortably, and become feelingly aware of your sit-bones on the ground.

Take three deep breaths, noticing where they land inside — in the deep belly, high ribs, somewhere in between?

Just notice.

Sense into where your energy is automatically directed.

Does it go outwards toward the edges, or outside of your body completely?

Does your attention go to the past or to the future?

Can you feel your body at all?

If so, where, and how?

Continue to breathe.

Gently turn your vision inward, coming in and down.

Notice the sensations here within you, for a few moments.

Do you feel heat, cold, numbness, tingling, density, spaciousness?

Be with these sensations and your breath as much as is possible without making a story about them, or trying to change them.

Can you listen to these body felt sensations and receive them as information?

Can you risk being soft-bellied and tender-hearted in this moment?

Can you dedicate your sensitivity and care to your embodiment?

This is the journey of coming home — to this body, this breath, this heart.

Every chance we get, this is where we must start.

When we do, we begin to be touched by something greater. It is a gentle, quiet radiance.

It has its own potency: it is the Luminous Presence.

The truth is, it has never left us.

It emanates from deep within us.
