This guided meditation begins with a body scan, bringing the friendliness of a smile into the body, and waking up our awareness of aliveness. We widen the attention to include sound and then sense and rest in the awareness that holds all experience. Our reminders are to wake up from trance by reopening to our senses, allowing for a true intimacy with the life that lives through us.
Gentleness is the fastest way to land at the retreat and the best way to be with the guests visiting our mind. The acronym F.I.R.E. is presented - F: Friendliness, I: Intention, R: Relaxation, E: Enjoyment as a gentle fire to infuse our practice.
A guided session. We can forget that there's a whole range of qualities of friendliness that are non-doing or passive. Listening, caring, empathizing, respecting, allowing, appreciating, honoring and more.
