The ProtoSelf Arrival

Take a moment to arrive here. Feel the support beneath you. Feel the earth receiving your weight. Allow awareness to settle into this moment. Notice the space around you. The sounds. The light. The atmosphere of the room. Sense the dimensions of the space that surrounds you. Notice the natural point from which you experience the world. A quiet center of awareness. A place from which attention moves and explores. Without moving your eyes, allow attention to gently move through your visual field. Across the room. Toward the ceiling. Toward the floor. Simply discovering the freedom of awareness. Now allow attention to turn toward the experience of being alive. Notice the movement of breathing. The rhythm of circulation. The gentle activity of your body. Sense the living structure that carries you through each day. Your bones. Your muscles. Your tissues. Your organs. The continuous activity of life unfolding within you. Take your time sensing yourself from head to tail. From front to back. From side to side. Allow awareness to fill the space within your skin. Notice the continuity of life present within you. The steady flow of breath. The movement of energy. The intelligence of your body. The countless processes supporting your existence in every moment. Allow yourself to become familiar with this living foundation. A foundation that accompanies every experience. A foundation that remains present through every season of life. Sense the simple experience of aliveness. The quiet vitality of being. The subtle energy that animates your body. The warmth of awareness itself. Perhaps you notice a sense of presence. A sense of continuity. A sense of wholeness. Allow this living presence to expand throughout your entire body. Through your chest. Through your abdomen. Through your arms and legs. Through your face and scalp. Through every layer of your being. Take a few moments to rest here. Allow yourself to appreciate the remarkable fact of life unfolding within you. The breath. The pulse. The movement. The awareness. The vitality. As you rest in this deeper sense of being, allow it to become the ground from which today's work will emerge. Every sensation can arise within this larger field of awareness. Every feeling can arise within this larger field of vitality. Every experience can arise within this larger field of presence. Take a moment to appreciate the fullness of being here. Alive. Present. Aware. Connected. Whole. And from this living foundation, we begin.
