Here I offer a guided meditation through the anatomy of the body as presented by Ven. Bhikkhu Analayo. In this practice we explore our experience of our body through the skin, flesh, and bones, then the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. With practice, this meditation can lead one to a deeper sense of present moment awareness, and to recognize the not-self aspect of our physicality. Meditation can be challenging at times.

Here I offer a guided meditation where we are invited to observe the felt experience of the body by using the metaphors of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. This can give one the opportunity to connect to the felt experience of the body and then recognizing that there is no "I" in the elements internally and externally. Based on the work of Ven. Analayo.

In this guided meditation we are invited to explore a type of joy that might arise as a result of cultivating a deep state of tranquility. The combination of calm, rest, and joy may give awareness a strong base for resting with the mind without falling into distraction.

Here I offer a guided body scan with an emphasis on resting deeply. We continue on to observe the activity of the mind and invite the mind to rest. There is no closing bell at the end of the practice, so one can easily use this meditation as a sleep aid, as well as finding tranquility in the mind and heart.

Here I offer a guided meditation in which we are invited to systematically open awareness to more and more of experience, until we rest in complete, open awareness. We then include an experience of awareness itself. Since we typically habitually identify with awareness, by recognizing awareness as just another aspect of the ever-changing field, our clinging to that identity begins to loosen, and thus, our suffering begins to wane.
