Transcript

Arrival — Compact

Welcome. This is Arrival — just land in the body for about a minute.

[Pause 2s]

Make yourself comfortable — sitting, standing, whatever works. Eyes closed, or gaze softened — whatever is easy.

[Pause 2s]

Stop what you are doing. Give yourself this minute — a little space.

[Pause 3s]

Feel the seat under you, or the floor under your feet. Feel the weight of the body pressing down. Let the ground take some of that weight.

[Pause 4s]

Soften the jaw. Let the face ease. Let the shoulders settle soft. Let the arms hang easy. Let the hands rest.

[Pause 4s]

Nothing special to do. Just notice that you are here. If the mind wanders, notice it. Come back to the seat, or the feet. Come back to being here.

[Pause 4s]

Feel your whole body — just a resting presence. Nothing else to do.

[Pause 3s]

And that is Arrival.

Use the guidance a few times, then try arriving without it.

Thank you for landing with me.
