Embodied Mindfulness Meditation
Module 16: Episode 2 - Talking to your hands
Dina Asher Kusnir
In this meditation we continue to use the terms Private exile: the state in which the body is present but the mind has wandered away. Returning to the body through sensation, breath, attention, and loving speech becomes a return to private grace.
This meditation invites you to speak to your hands. feel their structure and movement, recognize everything they do for you. Speak to them with kindness and gratitude. Attention, intention, speech, and sensation become one. This unity is described as presence—a way of experiencing our connection with the Divine and with the intelligence of creation.
Ultimately, this is a practice of relationship: relationship with the body, relationship with others, with the breath, and with the larger cosmic intelligence that gives and sustains life.
The invitation is simple:
Come home to your body.
Speak kindly to it.
Fell it, thank it.
Notice when you leave. Then begin again.
