In this episode we explore mindfulness of the body. Many of us spend our work days sitting in front of a computer, disconnected from our bodies. Sometimes we are in a beautiful place but not really present. Mindfulness of the body can help us become present in our bodies. We can learn how to release tension and stress or remind ourselves be kind to our body. 

 

Buddha taught several types of mindfulness of the body:

Mindfulness of the breath

Mindfulness of the postures

Activities 

Impurities 

Real nature 

4 elements

Charnel grounds

 

Always wide awake 

Are the disciples of Gotama 

Who constantly, day and night, 

Are mindful of the body.

-Buddha, The Dhammapada
