Mindfulness of Body

Many of us spend time focusing on our external appearance without paying much attention to actually experiencing what’s going on inside of our body, being open to the messages it has for us, without judgment. We tend to take the sensations of our body for granted, and consequently can find ourselves disconnected from the present moment. Developing an affectionate and gentle curiosity about our body helps us to learn important things about ourselves as we enter more deeply into the practice of mindfulness, and potentially pre-empt or prevent certain illnesses or conditions from taking up residence.
