Jonathan Foust: Meditation: Sympathetic Joy and Loving the Body

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) After a short introduction on techniques for amplifying wholesome states, you’ll be guided into a meditation reflecting on sympathetic joy - cultivating your capacity to find pleasure in the joy, well-being and success of those around you. You’ll then explore a particular practice including a body scan where you’ll deeply feel the space inside the body and reflect on gratitude, appreciation and well-being. This experience is from the afternoon Guided Heart practice in the IMCW 2018 New Year’s Retreat.
