Meditating With The Body - Willa Miller

In this episode, Wendy speaks with meditation teacher and Buddhist scholar Willa Miller about her work, and how the body is relevant in meditation. They cover many topics, including a research study about meditation and real-world compassionate behavior in which she was involved, and various interpretations of the results; the role of the body in contemplative practice; and three natural metaphors for what she calls “somatic mindfulness” practice.

Thank you very much for sharing this very profound and helpful talk. It inspires in me a sense of peace, space, vitality and curiosity to continue the journey of meditation. I'm grateful.

So glad I found you this morning. A most enlightening talk. I loved the three metaphors and will integrate them in my practice. Thank you for offering this conversation on Insight Timer.
