Grounding in the Body
In this session, we will practice grounding in our physical bodies through very gentle movement and sound. The point of these techniques is to remind us to continually dissolve the body-mind-heart split inherited and enforced in western hegemony. Grounding in the body is a material and embodied practice of non-duality through direct experience of our sense perceptions. Mindfulness of the body, one of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (or Satipatthana), is the ground for this dharma teaching and experience.
