This meditation begins with a body scan, and then we practice opening to and relaxing with our changing experience. The sitting closes with a beautiful poem by Danna Faulds, “Just for Now.”
Just for Now,
Without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness.Just for now, lay down the weight
You so patiently bear upon your shoulders.Feel the earth receive you,
And the infinite expanse of the sky grow even wider,
as your awareness reaches up to meet it.Just for now,
Allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience.
Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth.Just for now,
Be boundless, free,
with awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet.Drink in the possibility
Of being who and what you really are —
So fully alive that the world looks different,
Newly born and vibrant, just for now. ~ Danna Faulds, “Just for Now.”
