Introduction

As you come into stillness, let your attention go to the area of the heart. And ask what your deep intention is for meditating right now,. What draws you? What's your heart's longing? As this stillness gently scan through your body and notice what might be unnecessary clenching or tightness or tension. You might feel a slight smile at the mouth and let the inside of the mouth smile. This actually sends a message to the nervous system to quiet, fight, flight, freeze - it engenders a sense of ease and well-being.
