Body Awareness Meditation: Noticing Subtle Sensations

from The Daily Meditation with Brother Richard

In this meditation, I guide you into a deeper practice of noticing subtle sensations within the body, using the breath as a steady anchor.As your awareness develops, meditation can move beyond simply noticing the body, into a more refined attention to the smallest movements and sensations within it.We begin by settling into good posture and becoming aware of the breath, noticing details such as the coolness of the air as it enters the nose and the gentle expansion of the chest.From here, the practice deepens, inviting you to explore where the breath begins, how it moves through the body, and how different areas respond.As awareness becomes more precise, the whole body comes into focus, along with the sense of contact with the ground beneath you.This is a practice of refinement, gently deepening your ability to notice, to feel and to remain present.This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you develop deeper awareness, focus and presence.This meditation supports body awareness, focus and present moment attention.Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction 00:28 – Deepening awareness of the body 00:56 – The bell 01:28 – Recognising the potential of the practice 01:56 – Sitting with good form 02:54 – Awareness of the breath at the nose 04:53 – Expansion of the chest 05:58 – Deepening awareness 06:08 – Where does the breath begin? 07:08 – Refining attention 09:03 – Chest and belly movement 09:48 – Whole body awareness 11:18 – Contact with the chair 11:56 – Closing bell Hosted on Acast.
