The practice expands attention from subtle individual sensations to awareness of the body as a whole.
The brief
Jo Rose introduces a sensory meditation for listeners who want to shift attention away from thinking and toward direct bodily experience.
The practice begins with subtle sensations, asking for openness and curiosity rather than judgment or a predetermined result.
As attention widens, individual sensations become part of a fuller awareness of the body as a whole.
The meditation frames presence as a felt connection with the body and the immediate moment, not an idea to analyze.
