Begin the practice in Savasana. Take a moment and adjust the body so that you feel 10% more comfortable.
Adjusting your clothes, your physical body, anything that you need to become more at ease. In the practice that
follows we will begin feeling through the sensory web of awareness a feel sense of wellbeing in the body.

Take a breath in through the nose and clench the mouth and jaw and on your exhale open the jaw. Relax the jaw
and swallow to clear the throat. Inhale and draw the shoulders up to the ears and exhale roll the shoulders onto
the back body. Inhale and as you exhale send the breath to relax the upper arms, elbows, and forearms. Inhale,
and as you exhale, roll the wrist out and open and close the palms. Inhale, feel the chest and belly expand and
exhale, let the entire front of the body soften. Inhale and squeeze the buttock and as you exhale relax the buttock

back towards the shin activating the calf muscle and exhale relax the calf muscle. Rock the feet side to side.

Place your awareness in the mouth and jaw. Let go of thinking and allow total awareness of the mouth, jaw,

Observe the body through the lens of the observer. Noticing the spacious openness of pure awareness where all
of the sensations are arising. Watch sensations coming and going in awareness. Awareness of the sensation of
breathing, the sensation of the beating of the heart, the sensation of your whole body relaxed. Observe the
sensations of peace, contentment, joy, and relaxation spreading throughout your entire body. Observe the ever-
present sensation of wellbeing spreading throughout the entire body. With each inhalation feel the expansive
quality of awareness and with every exhalation feel the sensation of warmth, security and well-being radiating
throughout the entire body. Allow your undivided attention to be focused on feeling your entire body as a
radiant field of sensation in which all things are arising.
Observe any sensations, feelings, memories, or emotions arising and welcome them as messengers. Noticing
any emotion, feeling, memory or sensation and simply acknowledging it and welcoming it into your awareness.
Call to mind the opposite of the sensation, memory, feeling, or emotion that is arising and notice what happens
to the thinking mind when you bring both the feeling and its opposite into your awareness.

(Long pause)

Experience the qualities of presence: Awake and aware … Intimate and intelligent … Authentic, peaceful,
creative … Feel sensations of emptinesses, expansiveness, but at the same time fullness and power. Rest here,
feeling a felt sensation of presence. As you are ready, begin to awaken the inner ears to the sensation of sound.
Awaken the ears to the sensation of sound vibrating in the inner ear canal. Continue to allow the body to awaken
inviting the sensation of touch to the fingers as you rub the thumb across the pads of the index finger, middle
finger, right finger, and pinky finger. Gently swallow and clear the throat inviting the sensation of taste.

As you’re ready, gently open the eyes and awaken the sensation of sight; looking out into the world through the
windows of the soul.
