Mindfulness Of Body & Breath In Recovery

Curious about how to start to approach Meditation? This is a short talk, given to a small group in Recovery but also accessible to all, that explores several aspects of practicing Mindfulness of Body and Breath from a Buddhist perspective.

"In this way one abides contemplating the body as a body internally, or one abides contemplating the body as a body externally, or one abides contemplating the body as a body both internally and externally. Or else one abides contemplating in the body its nature of arising, or one abides contemplating in the body its nature of vanishing, or one abides contemplating in the body its nature of both arising and vanishing. Or else mindfulness that there is a body' is simply established to the extent necessary for bare knowledge and mindfulness. And one abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world. That too is how one abides contemplating the body as a body.” - Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta
