Explore awareness through the body
The Aware Body invites you into embodied meditation – a deeper exploration of breath, body and awareness beyond the busy thinking mind.
Through a series of somatic meditation practices we explore breath, sensation, movement and stillness – opening to grounded presence, subtle aliveness and vitality.
Drawing on neuroscience, meditation research and contemplative wisdom, we explore awareness through the body, with space to discover what unfolds for you.
What does it mean to meditate with the body?
Meditation often invites us to observe our experience. Meditating with the body opens another possibility: inhabiting sensation directly, from within. From here, we can explore not only what we experience, but awareness itself.
Through breath and close attention, we explore the steadiness, movement, and subtle energy of the body. As we settle, we can invite deeper rest and allow entanglement in mental activity to ease naturally.
Grounded in the body. Open to awareness.
This intimate experience of the body can open enquiry into awareness itself. Grounding and vastness can coexist here. The invitation is to soften effort, become curious and explore at your own pace.
The Aware Body is an invitation to come home to yourself, allowing a more integrated way of being through body, mind and heart.
The body as the ground, the path and the gateway
We explore:
- Releasing tension and relaxing deeply
- Meeting discomfort and changing sensations with greater ease
- Breath as a pathway into embodied awareness
- Grounding and a felt sense of support
- The body’s subtle energy, aliveness and spaciousness
- Releasing engagement with thoughts and emotions
- The Still Mind and the nature of this awareness
- Bringing a more integrated presence into everyday life
What might we discover through the body about awareness itself?
