In this guided meditation, Matthew leads the practitioner through mindfulness of awakening factors as part of Bhikkhu Analayo’s method of Satipatthana practice. The meditation begins with establishing embodied mindfulness and then moves into contemplation of the mind and the awakening factors (dharmas).
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 last of the seven: mindfulness of the dhammas – hindrances.
