Episode notes
Mindfulness Anchored in the Body
- The phrase "there is a body" helps focus attention on current bodily sensations, anchoring mindfulness.
- Sensations are always happening now, unlike the mind which can drift into past or future memories.
Use Mental Noting to Focus
- If distracted during meditation, gently return attention to the body without frustration.
- Use mental noting like hearing, seeing, pressure, or tingling to stay connected to bodily sensations.
Self Is Shifting Sensations
- The sense of self is elusive and formed of shifting sensations rather than a fixed core.
- Locating "where you feel yourself" reveals just a dynamic cluster of feelings, not a solid identity.
