First Foundation Meditation Mindfulness of Body and Breath

This meditation is based on the First Foundation of Mindfulness as taught by the historical Buddha. The teaching it comes from is called the Satipatthāna Sutta, or Four Foundations of Mindfulness. The first of the four explores mindfulness using the objects of the breath, the body and anatomical parts - meaning exploring all the parts of the body, the elements of Earth, Wind, Water and Fire and cemetery contemplations. The mindfulness aspect is to get to know there is a body, there is a breath. This practice goes through the basics but doesn’t cover each and every contemplation. That I will cover in a future practice.
