Mindfulness of the Body in the Body

You are invited to listen to this podcast to deepen your understanding of embodied mindfulness practice. Many people today feel disconnected or even alienated from their own bodies. There are many reasons for this, but it can lead to a sense of disconnection from life in general.  Mindfulness is an embodied practice. It invites us to heal this sense of disconnection. When mindful of our body, we open to the changing stream of sensations without grasping or resisting. The experience might be fear or joy, it might be the intensity of aliveness, or it might be numbness. Mindfulness is not a distanced kind of witnessing.  With mindfulness we “observe sensations within sensations.” It is a practice of mindfulness of the body, in the body. Mental, emotional and physical suffering all can be reduced through skillful cultivation of this form of practice. 

"Be strong then, and enter into your own body;
there you have a solid place for your feet.
Think about it carefully!
Don’t go off somewhere else!
Kabir says this: just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things,
and stand firm in that which you are".

Kabir
