Head and Hands

Find your position, let your eyes close, and take one slow breath.

Let your attention rest wherever it lands. For a while, nothing is asked of you at all.

Can you imagine the space between your ears?

Can you imagine the space behind your eyes — cool, dim, and open?

Can you imagine the space where your jaw is? Let your jaw be porous, like mist.

Can you imagine your entire head as space — the boundary between inside and outside growing thin?

Now bring your hands into the field. Can you feel your hands from the inside?

Can you imagine the space inside your fingers — each finger a hollow, open volume?

Can you imagine the space inside your palms, and the space between your fingers, at the same time?

Can you hold your head and hands in awareness together — two regions of the same openness?

Can you imagine the space between your head and your hands — through your neck, shoulders, and arms — one connected volume?

If tension remains anywhere, you do not need to remove it. Simply imagine space around it, and space within it.

Now your whole body. Can you imagine every part of you at once, resting as open space?

And the room around you, part of the same field. Everything at once, held evenly, without effort.

Rest here as long as the silence lasts.

Slowly, let your breath become interesting again. Feel the weight of your body returning.

When the bell sounds, open your eyes without narrowing — let the world arrive all at once.
