Two recent podcasts from the Dharma Seed collection dealt with the body in mindfulness meditation. Eugene Cash speaks on staying connected to the body in meditation, and Will Kabat-Zinn speaks on mindfulness of the body as a gateway to freedom. Both talks were given at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.
Mindfulness of the Body
Duration: 59:09, posted 2012-04-11The purpose and usefulness of embodied meditation: How to stay connected to the body.
Eugene Cash
I am intrigued by how we can live the 'holy life' as lay people. How do we erase the imaginary line between formal sitting practice and the rest of our lives? How can we bring full engagement to formal and informal practice? Is it possible to embody, in our lives, the understanding and insight that comes with intensive training? And can we live our lives in a way that expresses and continues to deepen our realization? These questions fuel my practice and my teaching.
