Part of a new series of practices from Sister Dang Nghiem, this audio offers guidance on the practice of gently scanning our body with awareness.
As we become more in touch with our physical body, we may be able to mentally scan our body from the top of our head to the soles of our feet. In this recording, Sister Dang Nghiem invites us to lie down in a comfortable position on the floor or other flat surface; closing our eyes and moving our awareness of bodily sensations from part to part.
There is nowhere to go and nothing to do - just the invitation to lean into presence; returning to the body to the extent that feels comfortable, and offering it gentle attention.
You may like to reflect on this gatha at the beginning of your practice:
This body is the body of my ancestors, containing all wisdom and potential for liberation. May I live with full awareness of my body, so that healing and transformation may take place in every moment.
