Opening to the Body - a Gateway to Freedom

Led by Balajit

The body is a key foundation of mindfulness. But modern attitudes towards it, and the pace of life, mean it can so easily be left behind in our Dharma practice. On this retreat we will explore and practice different ways of anchoring our meditation, and our lives, more fully in the body.

Opening to the body can both calm and still the mind, as well as bring ever deeper layers of healing and insight. We will be doing plenty of sitting and walking meditation, and some simple exercises to help us explore our experience. In particular we will see how opening to body sensations, can lead to a more intimate and spacious relationship with the broader 'body' of our experience – our thoughts, feelings and emotions.
