I'm Sean Fargo, and I invite you to take this moment to pause, settle in, and connect with your body. Today we'll be practicing a gentle awareness meditation, an opportunity to simply be present with your experience without judging it to be good or bad, right or wrong, or striving for any particular outcome. Whether you're sitting, lying down,
or even moving, this meditation is an invitation to bring kind, gentle awareness to whatever is unfolding in your experience right now. There's nothing you need to do. There's nowhere to go. There's no one to be. We're simply practicing this gentle, nonjudgmental awareness. So whenever you're ready, let's begin.

for the rest of the day. Maybe gently taking a couple of deep breaths, gently feeling into the body on the chair, on the ground, gently thanking ourselves for taking this time to be very simple practice for healing. Maybe wiggling your fingers or toes and slowly reconnecting whenever you're ready.
