In this beginner yin yoga class on mindfulness we will be going over the mindfulness technique and mindfulness meditation practice that I study called somatic meditation and how you can bring that to your yin yoga practice. When I say mindfulness I am speaking about a practice called shamata, which bascially means to place your attention on a specific object. In the lineage of meditation that I practice, of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Reggie Ray and Dharma Ocean, the object of attention is our body. I practice a style of meditation called somatic meditation.
In the stillness and quiet of our yin yoga practice we can come into the direct experience of our bodies. This subtle, energetic and inward practice invites us to feel our body from the inside. We are tuning into the basic awareness of our bodies themselves. When we pay attention to our body we pay attention to the physical sensation, the subtle energy that flows through our body and the experience of the boundary of our body within space (for example the way our back body feels resting against the ground). When we open our awareness into our body we do so with openness, kindness, tenderness, compassion and without judgment or agenda. That is we are not imposing our plans or goals onto our bodies, we simply arrive and listen to what our body has to say to us.
