Many enlightenment students view body awareness as just a beginning point for their practice. They tend to jump over it in order to center on their mind states and emotions, trusting that’s where they'll experience the deepest insights. But the fact is, your body is the ideal mirror for distinguishing the great truths of suffering, change , and “not self”. All things needed for enlightenment.
There's one thing, that, trained and regularly practiced leads to a deep sense of urging…to the sovereign peace…to mindfulness and clear comprehension…to the accomplishment of right vision and knowledge…to happiness in present moment…to recognizing deliverance by wiseness and the realization of Holiness: it's mindfulness of body.
Applying mindfulness of the body is often neglected as an chance for awakening, even when the body is calling for tending. being aware of the sensations that come up in your body without adhering to them is all-important to spiritual practice. Whenever the body isn't mastered by meditation, the mind can't be mastered. If the body is controlled, mind is controlled.
Some may need to take a fresh approach to meditation practice for enlightenment and realize that a new relationship to body is possible. There are many ways you may make your experience in body the primary object of meditation. You need to begin to use your body as your teacher and if you make mindfulness an ongoing practice at work and in your family life, it will go on to serve you. But body awareness isn't an aspirin you take for pain relief. It's a practice that frees your mind from suffering, regardless of conditions and brings you to a new point in enlightenment.
In applying mindfulness of the body, it's your direct experience or felt sense that's important, not your judgments about your body, your wishings for what it may be, or even your stories about how your body came to be as it is. This is called “awareness of the body in the body,” intending that your attention has dropped into the literal physical experience instead of your views and concepts about the body.
