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
