Guo Gu: Progressive Relaxation

Guo Gu gives instructions for relaxing the body and connecting with the breath. This foundational teaching will create a sense of stability in our practice. While we tend to spend a lot of our time living inside our heads, Guo Gu asks us to shift our awareness into the tactile sensations of the body, inviting in awareness of the “undercurrent tones” that shape our experiences. This practice is a part of Tricycle's Meditation Month 2021, a month-long meditation challenge.

Simple, yet foundational, imstruction and practice. When short on time, use this to stay full of insight, calm, and joy.

An excellent grounding method and simple relaxation technique. Thank you 🙏

Venerable is always skillful and grounded in the dharma. The longer version of this guided meditation is also excellent.
