2025-07-01 Disentangling from Self 46:41
Ayya Santussika
With the Four Foundations of Mindfulness as the framework, we reflect on what we believe to be ourselves and use mindfulness practices to see ourselves more clearly in relation to the body, feelings/emotions, thoughts and Dhamma. In doing this, we untangle our attachments to self and discover who we really are.

2025-06-28 Practicing with the First Foundation of Mindfulness (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 63:32
Amana Brembry Johnson
The body is the first door to awakening. When the body is at ease, the mind more easily follows. We begin with intentional, kind attention to the body before turning awareness to an object of focus. Curiosity and investigation of the arisings and passing away of sensation in the body cultivates intimacy with habits of mind and corresponding body sensations.
