49 - Body Meditation

Take your fingertip and stroke very gently and very, very carefully across the back of your other hand.

Pay the closest attention to how that feels.

Now tap gently and lightly, as you would tap a drum to produce the first and finest resonant sound.

Can you feel this?

Can you feel how these pulses of sensations flow out, ripple out like the rings a small pebble makes when you throw it into a flat, still pond?

Tap again, very carefully, and feel the echo of sensation that sound and rings throughout your whole body.

Try it on your chest, or on your leg, small loving touches, and learn again how to trace these resonant sensation into the smallest, finest experiences with your attention.

This is a meditation for your body.

It is a first step to awaken our bodies from their long sleep, and our consciousness is the prince who must arrive in order to take the sleeping beauty into their strong arms, to give it the magical kiss of attention and of love.

This is a first step in the right direction.
