Body Meditation Number 3 – Pulse Point Feeling and connecting with our pulse gives a tangible and direct way to become more aware of our inner body life.

The practice fosters a profound sense of tranquility and body-brain balance.

Even if you don't currently feel your pulse during this meditation,

The type of feeling and listening you'll be doing will increase meditation flow and your body-brain connection.

To connect with your pulse,

Start by placing your awareness and your breath in your heart area.

Feel free to gently rest your hand over your heart to aid this connection.

Quietly listen and feel your insides.

Whether you feel the pulse or not,

Breathe so gently that it doesn't interfere with you being quiet enough to sense your pulse.

If you do feel the pulse,

Feel as if you are breathing into the pulse itself.

Gradually extend your awareness and breath to experience other pulse points throughout your body.

Your temples on the side of your head.

Your neck.

Shoulders.

Elbows.

Wrists.

Hands.

Fingers.

Upper back.

Lower back.

Belly.

Pelvis.

Glutes.

Upper legs.

Knees.

Lower legs.

Ankles.

Feet.

And toes.

With practice,

You may perceive the pulses echoing throughout your entire body,

Individually and as a unified orchestra.

Take every chance during your day to tune into your pulse.

Maintaining a part of your awareness on this inner rhythm helps you stay centered and not be swept away by distracting thoughts or external distractions.
