The Seven Body Scan. Short Version

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, bones, and the elemental qualities of the body: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. We are then invited into the feeling tones inherent in the human experience. By coming to rest in the experience of pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral we may find ourself inhabiting a non-reactive field of equanimity. With practice, this practice 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. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org I have been practicing meditation for 36 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, Neuroplasticity, Non-Violent Communication, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.

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.

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.
