<p style="margin: 0px 0px 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-width: normal; font-size: 20px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-kerning: none;">Tonight, we\u2019ll begin by settling into stillness and becoming familiar with the breath. From there, we\u2019ll gradually bring our awareness into standing and into our feet\u2014beginning to notice our balance, our relationship with the ground, and the subtle shifting of our weight from one foot to the other.</span></p>

The purpose is not to force the body into a particular position, but to develop our sensitivity. Can we feel where our weight is? Can we notice when the body naturally wants to shift? Can we remain relaxed and aware as we move between stability and movement?</span></p>
