Online: Knowing Our Bodies – A Buddhist Approach
Online: Knowing Our Bodies – A Buddhist Approach
with Bob Stahl
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024 from 7:00-9:00pm ET
If we don't learn to stay present in our body without clinging to our experience, we risk reinforcing attachment to our physical self, which can leave us feeling frustrated and stuck in our meditation practice. In this two-hour online event, teacher Bob Stahl will guide us through a unique Buddhist practice known as the Contemplation of the 32 Parts of the Body Meditation. Together, we’ll work on understanding the true nature of the body, reflect on its impermanence, and discuss its four primary elements.
