[0:01] Let's practice.
[0:20] Taking our seat. Right in the midst of our world. In the middle of all that is going on. The noises. The stories. The cats, the dogs, the people. The cars. The airplanes. The birds. Right in the midst of everything. Not needing to separate ourselves.
[1:58] Breathing and sitting. Allowing our body to come to rest in an uplifted, awake and alert stillness.
[2:51] And our mind to come into synchronization, into harmony. They're slowing.
[3:33] And with our sense perceptions open. The gates of our touch and sight and scent. Open to the world.
[4:29] Accepting what is.
[5:01] The sounds that are present.
[5:19] The interruptions. Just allowing what is to be. The interruptions.
[10:48] Staying with each breath, breathing out. While also open and accepting of everything around. Are you sorry?
[12:41] Shush, shush, shush, shush.
[13:20] Shush, shush. Shush.
[15:25] Letting sense perception in. Letting the wind blow through us.
[15:59] Releasing some of our defenses.
[16:32] Sitting in the midst of everything. Our thoughts, our emotions can rise, be like a storm and pass through us.
[17:42] It's the very struggle to keep everything out. That gives it power.
