This program is an Insight Meditation practice that employs the “Nine Bodies of Consciousness.” The focus of this practice is on developing mindfulness of the felt sense of embodied experience using consciousness as a meditative object.
The program will start by focusing on the consciousness that arises in the physical body and then, through a series of guided meditations, will explore ever more subtle levels of consciousness. This distinct approach was developed by Phillip Moffitt and emphasizes two 45-60 minute guided meditations each day. The practice utilizes felt sense as a means of staying connected to the present moment, freeing the mind of scattered thinking and supporting the arising of liberating insights.
Teaching Assistant: Jan Rosamond
