Body — Compact

Welcome. This is Body — feeling, one of three foundational sense practices. Feel the weight, then one place that feels tense.

[Pause 2s]

Make yourself comfortable in whatever posture you are in. Eyes soft, or open — whatever helps you feel the weight.

[Pause 2s]

Feel where the weight is. Standing — the feet. Sitting — the base of the spine. Lying down — the back. Just feel it.

[Pause 5s]

Feel the pressure. Let the support take some of that weight.

[Pause 4s]

Now notice one place that feels tense. Jaw. Shoulders. Back. Or wherever is loudest for you.

[Pause 3s]

Soften there a little. Stay with it gently. No need to make it go away.

[Pause 5s]

If the mind wanders, come back to the weight, or to that place.

[Pause 4s]

Now widen to the whole body. Soften.

[Pause 3s]

And that is enough for the body.

A couple of listens, then try feeling the body on your own.

Thank you for grounding with me.
