When you meditate with
your eyes open, don’t look at
things; just recognize that
there is seeing going on.
—Sayadaw U Tejaniya

Body-mind meditations
Inspired by The Wakeful Body course with Lama Willa:
Letting the body invite our mind to join it in this grounded moment, right here, right now. Nowhere else to be.
Allowing the breath to draw us back to awareness of the body, like a grounding magnet. Feeling the weight of our bodies on the earth,
finding whichever touch points are helpful for us to connect to the feeling of our body right now: connecting to earth, breathing, bodily sensations.
Beginning with some standing movement through awareness yoga and
How does body support our meditation?
Pause and check in after practice: how are body and mind now? What’s different?
Meditating with sleepiness
Can you use sleepiness or drowsiness as support for awareness while falling asleep, or do you find it easier to rest in open awareness?
