Uncovering the First Foundation of Mindfulness: Insight Meditation Retreat
|
| Mindfulness of the body is the first of the Buddha’s teachings known as the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. This retreat will explore its six distinct groups of practices – the breath, the four postures of the body, mindfulness of all activities, the 32 parts of the body, the four material elements and nine cemetery meditations.
Many meditators are familiar with the first three practices. The last three, however, are rarely taught in the West. Participants in this course will gain a systematic and comprehensive exposure to the entire range of these body practices. |

| This is a guided meditation on the 32 Parts of the Body beginning with Head hair, Body Hairs, Nails, Teeth, Skin. The practice involves reciting the parts verbally and then mentally and to know the color, shape, location, direction, delimitation, as well as the definition and function of each part.
The methodical practice of the 32 Parts of the Body Meditation can help the meditator understand the true nature of the body and no self.
