This week is "Mindfulness of Body" week on the ZfEL podcast. Today I talk about the Buddha's first establishment of mindfulness, mindfulness of body. We'll cover the 4 major elements or "sensations" you can notice through your mindfulness practice, why that's so important and do a short "mindful check-in" to get a feel for the practice itself. Also, make sure to listen to this week's guided meditation, ZfEL #25: Mindfulness of Body / Mindfulness Body Scan, a foundational mindfulness practice that allows you to heighten your ability to notice the sensations and communications of the body and better come in touch with the physical body as a whole.
