Connection and Acceptance Meditations

Mindfulness is the undistracted awareness of the experience of the present moment. Mindfulness meditation is a set of ancient practices now supported by a mountain of scientific study that we use to gain that experience of mindfulness. There are many barriers, distractions and dead ends that can divert us from our path of acceptance and connection to all of the experiences of the present moment, internal and external. By connecting to the entire body, we are able to minimise physical and emotional pain enough to learn to become comfortable with it. This is a key step in the process of learning to accept and release our suffering. In the period leading up to the next nature connection day retreat, I will be teaching practices specifically to support this process of acceptance and connection. In this class, taught on Thursday 9 March on The Meditation Course, I teach a set of practices designed to connect to the present moment and to our bodies.
