So Prem, welcome, and thank you for starting off and guiding us.

It's a joy to be here, and thank you for such a lovely welcome.

So let us all close our eyes for a moment, and adjust your body to be more comfortable wherever you're seated.

And simply notice we're taking a sacred pause to meet the moment without a judging mind.

But to meet the moment with compassion, compassion for our very human experience, dancing with our own divinity.

So as you sit, let's just do a quick body scan, letting your attention float from the crown of your head down across your face.

And imagine a wave of deep relaxation and deep healing energy flowing from the surface of the skin down through and deeper into the brain and the tissues of memories, the essence of your being present behind and within all that you experience.

Wow
