Mindfulness of Body, Feeling. Tones, Mind

Here I offer a guided meditation through the body, feeling tones, and mind/heart, as presented by Ven. Bhikkhu Analayo. In this practice we explore our experience of our body through the skin, flesh, bones, and the elemental qualities of the body: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. We are then invited into the feeling tones inherent in the human experience. Then we rest deeply in the body and from that deep state of bodily rest, we observe the activity of the mind and heart. By observing in a non-judgemental was we might come to notice how the contact in the body leads to a feeling tone which leads to thoughts, emotions, and moods.

With practice, this practice can lead one to a deeper sense of present moment awareness, and to recognize the not-self aspect of our physicality.

Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org
