And just notice what it is like to stand in awareness.

And gently then, still aware of the breath, still able to stand with awareness, we begin to be really aware now of the ground beneath our feet, maybe gripping it once again with the toes.

We gently begin to move our fingers.

We feel the sensations of the air around us.

The clothes hanging on the body.

Perhaps the chair if we're touching or holding a chair for stability.

And gently now we make the intention interiorly that when we find ourselves having to stop and stand, we now know that we can take a moment to just

Check in, to be still, to touch meditation even for a moment.

Gently opening our eyes if the eyes are not open already.

Taking a moment to give thanks for this time.

And then allowing the sound of the bell

to draw us back to the activity of the day.

Thank you.

Welcome back.

In today's meditation, we are once again going to recover the basic form that allows us to enter into stillness.

As I've mentioned before, this is a good place to begin the practice or simply to renew one's facility with this basic process of deep relaxation leading to stillness, a doorway into meditation.

So let's begin.

Coming to the time of meditation, we enter these few moments generously, openly, deliberately.

We make the intention to enter this practice now with an open heart and mind.

Sitting into our meditation space, we move gently in a relaxed way.
