Greetings and welcome to our FOURTH session of the autumn 2025 season, where we are dedicated to listening to and developing our inner strength at a time when there seems to be so much more public stress and chaos.

Alas it is now too cold to meet outside early in the morning! I will schedule alternate indoor times at least once monthly for our group to meet!

Today, we use EMOTIONS as our primary anchor to continue to explore developing the embodied presence; paying attention to any emotions that arise during our breathwork, and then returning to the present moment and the breath.

The embodied presence: why this focus? Well, the present moment is the only one over which we have control, where we can align with our goals and values thoughtfully, so that we don’t feel hostage to the whims of circumstances out of our control. In our practice today, we explore how the act of paying attention to the sensations we observe during the emotion scan can be relaxing and bring ease to our thoughts and bodies.
