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.
