In this guided meditation, Matthew leads the practitioner through mindfulness of anatomy using Bhikkhu Analayo’s method of Satipatthana practice. The meditation begins with establishing embodied mindfulness and then moves into body scans using skin, flesh, and bone.
In Bhikkhu Analayo’s method, the four foundations of mindfulness – body, feelings, mind, & dharmas – are consolidated into seven primary contemplations that constitute the “Wheel Of Satipatthana”. This guided meditation is Matthew’s interpretation of the first of the seven: mindfulness of the body – anatomy.
If you are entirely new to the practice, want to start at the very beginning, or would like to practice with just embodied mindfulness, begin with this meditation: Grounding.
The meditation can be streamed on YouTube or the Insight Timer app.
