In this guided meditation, Matthew leads the practitioner through mindfulness of elements using Bhikkhu Analayo’s method of Satipatthana practice. The meditation begins with establishing embodied mindfulness and then moves into body scans using earth, water, fire, and air elements.
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 second 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.
If you want to practice with the first of the seven contemplations in the Wheel of Satipatthana – mindfulness with anatomy, go to this meditation: Anatomy.
The meditation can be streamed on YouTube or the Insight Timer app.
