COURSE

Body Awareness: True Experience of Our Body

With Mitesh Oswal

This course is a series of contemplative body scans designed to explore the felt sense of the body. The body can store traces of different experiences, especially challenging ones, in various areas. In this course, we get to the basics of feeling our body experientially viz. in the form of bodily sensations. Everything we feel in this body is sensations (or feelings) viz. pain, sadness, anxiety, anger. This course is designed to progressively make us feel our bodies as a felt experience rather than a concept of individual organs of the body. This series will at least provide deep relaxation or at most open doors of insight into our conceptual world vs. our experiential world through the medium of our body.

Lesson 1

Familiarizing Ourselves With Our Body

This is an experiential contemplation of becoming familiar with the feeling of our body. This can be used as a tool to come back from the imaginary past and the future to the reality of Now. We often visualize our bodies as individual parts and merge the felt sense with the visual sense. Today, we separate both the senses and spend time exploring the felt sense of the body - Along the way, we also learn to relax and acclimate to that state of the body!

Lesson 2

The Intimacy of Our Body

We experience our bodies in two ways: externally (thru visual perceptions) and internally (as sensations). Both these ways serve a special purpose in our lives. Visual perception is a clear, crisp rendering of the specifics of our and other bodies while Sensation is a fuzzy, pulsating experience of only OUR body! The internal experience is how we experience intimacy with our bodies! This contemplation walks us through it in an experiential way!

Lesson 3

Expanding Into Space

This contemplation is about the internal experience of the bodily sensations likened to small electrical impulses that we feel! As we become aware of these sensations, a natural recognition of expansion occurs where we feel our entire body is pulsating as these impulses in the space!

Lesson 4

Honoring Our Bodies

This contemplation is about honoring our bodies - a practice quite alien to our culture. In order to honor something, we need to acknowledge the presence without any judgments or labels. This contemplation walks us through honoring our sensations without trying to get rid of them or to be lost in them. This is a special practice!
