GUIDED MEDITATION: "Somatic Meditation" = Mindfulness of the Body

Dhammagiri Buddhist Podcasts - A podcast by Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage

We live in a world dominated by screens: Mobile Cell Phones, Tablets, Laptops, TV...When we look at these screens, our mind gets 'sucked in' and flows out into the www. ("The Worldwide Net of Māra"). Our awareness disconnects form our physical body and gets lost in an external virtual dimension of images, videos, concepts and proliferations.It's so important to bring awareness back into our physical body. In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to re-establish body awareness, mindfulness of the body ('Kāyagatā Sati'), recommended by the Buddha as a fundamental condition for meditative development ('Bhavanā'). www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.facebook.com/dhammagiri-forest-hermitagewww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
