93 : Meditation : Experiencing Impermanence In Your Body

In this episode: Body scan meditation to experience impermanence.

Impermanence - the fact of life that everything is constantly changing and nothing stays the same for long - can be best observed and experienced within our own body.

During my 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in Northern California, I truly experienced the impermanence of life.

The practice of body scan meditation, where we were aware of each part of the body from head to toe for 10 hours per day, made it clear that even something that seems fixed, say a pain in my shoulder, is actually changing and moving continuously.

Impermanence is all around us, and it was mirrored by the mountain scene I walked past each day, which was different every time.

I invite you to experience the ever changing nature of your body and life through this guided body scan meditation.
