Watch any aversion or excessive concern for the body—when it is hurt, ill, or in pain. Begin to experientially investigate the body. Is it as dense as you believe? Who are you after the body dies? Where are you located within the body? How separate and distinct is the mind from the body? TalkID=566 SeriesID=36
