Now, wherever you are, I invite you to imagine that I am reading this aloud to you. Begin to tune in to your breath. You might wish to revisit the breath practice as a way to warm up and tune in. Think of it as a muscle, and with repetition, you will become spontaneously adjusted to this way of receiving breath and your body.

The eternal vastness of spiritual connection to life force is through your body. Your senses are your doors of perception. Breathe. Allow that channel to open inside of your body. Turn your television off. Turn your music off. For now, gently close your eyes. Listen to what is happening in the room or the space you are in. Even if you don’t hear a thing. Listen. There is always something happening. Listen to the resonances in the air. Find the quiet spaces between each thought in your mind. Accept all that you are hearing. Allow all thoughts a gentle acceptance and a fluid morphing, passing. Notice your breath, your expanding diaphragm, pulsing organs and heart. Feel the movement of vibration in your body, sending breath to the core of each rhythmic pulse. Allow these sensations to affect you inside. The trembling of breath in your body. Take in the sensation of sound, feel how this experience of sound creates a sensory response in your body. Feel where in your body this sensation expands.

Your senses connect your internal body and the outside world, outside inside, inside outside, we are in union. Your senses are like receivers for your body. Begin to notice how each sense creates a response within. Taste, touch, smell, listen, breathe. Notice where.
Notice your heart beating. Notice the fire within your heart, the blazing heat and the sensation. Allow your breath to expand into this internal sensation, the vibrational pulse within. Expanding this body heat, feel your breath in the middle of the sun. As you bring in, breathe more deeply, notice that you can hear, smell, taste and feel with a heightened sensation now. Your internal and external sensations are opening up a little bit more now. I invite into you the earth’s vibration, hypnotic hum and harmonics. It’s happening all the time beneath you, within you. Beyond words, logic, and rational thoughts, listen within for the emotional content these sensations arouse. Allow each sound to shift your internal life.

Now, open your eyes, ears and nose. Imagine your eyes are like fingertips. See and feel life and beauty in everything everywhere. Let your eyes cast onto whatever is in front of you, the surface of something. Notice all of the facets of the layers of the surface. Like prisms. You might think you only see a white piece of paper, a black computer, or a wooden floor. That surface is made up of thousands of different reflections of color and molecules. They are all made of vibration of energy that is interlocking to create that surface. Your skin is created in the same way. Touch the fabric on your body, your skin, your hair. Become enamored. Allow yourself to feel with your eyes, expanding the internal sensations by deepening, expanding your breath into the center of these feelings. Allow yourself to experience any emotions that are aroused. Continue to focus on your breath and internal sensations, moving forward, allowing each moment to build, meld, change, crumble, and build, and on and on. Notice how willing you are to accept the sensations you are experiencing within. Notice the heat within, the movement of energy. Notice when you begin to block the experience of sensation or feeling. This is simply information about you. Don’t judge. Simply bring your awareness back to your breath and continue focusing on taking in the sensation through whichever sense you are focusing on now. This is true intimacy with the outside world. This is the essence of the cultivation of somatic experience in your body and the life-affirming vibrancy of love

Pace, lifestyle and perspective. Let’s become this change and ripple through deeper human and global consciousness. Expansion, vibrance, and enlightenment. . .
