Use Matched Breath To Gather Attention

ADVICE

Scan Inside Out To Feel Aliveness

  • Scan gently through the body from brow to hands, softening and sensing sensations from the inside out.
  • Tara instructs relaxing the eyes, tongue, shoulders, and feeling tingling and vibrating energy as a field of aliveness.
INSIGHT

Sensation Arises In Interior Space

  • Sensations appear within an interior space of openness, like particles emerging in emptiness, linking aliveness to spaciousness.
  • Tara invites imagining the nucleus of an atom to sense the empty space that gives rise to sensations in chest, belly, pelvis.
