[0:01] And it's practice.

[1:07] Opening into our experience through our sense perceptions. Just exactly where we are.

[1:38] Our perception of body, our environment. And just really arriving where we are.

[2:28] Appreciating where we are and how we are. Every aspect of ourselves.

[3:16] Arranging our body. And appreciating this incredible body. Just how it is in all its fleshiness.

[4:09] Whatever we feel. Is working or not working. Things we want or don't want about it. Letting go and just really appreciating. The experience of being in body. Able to touch. The earth. Animals. Other humans. Able to feel the sun. Nothing. On our face. To hear birds. To smell the rain.

[6:04] And to taste. Food. Taste. Wetness. Taste. Dryness. Better to fire. forder.

[6:43] And fully allowing, giving ourselves a space in this moment to appreciate.

[7:21] Preciousness of this breath.

[8:48] Our heart, as well, with love. For this moment. For our experience. For this breath. That we get to take. As a human.

[10:17] In the space of a breath, so much occurs.

[10:38] Lifetimes pass. Humans die. Babies are born. People suffer. And people are joyous. In the space of one breath.

[11:31] Trees, breathe. Rain and hurricanes and sun. The earth spins.

[12:22] We could fall in love with the breath. This experience. We get to be part of.

[13:49] We appreciate and love. Maybe we can hear what our heart wants.

[14:33] In this space of appreciation, what does our heart want? Can we feel? Not so much as a word, but as a feeling. Maybe it's to play or sing or dance. Or rest. Or love or touch. Connect. Explode in joy. To help.

[16:02] In this space. Allowing our. Heart's voice. To be heard.

[18:45] As we come back to this body, healing and appreciation. For the magic I play.
