Mindfulness Of The Body: The Skeleton Practice

This traditional Buddhist practice of attending to the body — part of the system of practices known as the four applications of mindfulness — might initially seem quite exotic, since it entails attending to our own skeleton and even mentally changing its size. The meaning of this exercise in imagination, however, is quite simple: it's a method for cultivating a realistic perception of our body and our mortality, while also strengthening our attention skills.

That was odd, but strangely soothing

Another excellent meditation grounded in Buddhist wisdom. Thank you.

Thank you again for this very insightful guidance of what might be a advanced meditation experience for some- I found it was made quite accessible, I was surprised and very comforted at the same time. On the first listening, I felt the very distinct shift in my perspective of reality. I felt supported and safe…Again, excellently recorded with gentleness and clarity. 🙏🏼 💕

I love this reminder to slow down and consider letting go of everything that we think is important

Thank you Venerable Lobsang 🙏 that was an amazing meditation experience
