The Weightless Body: Dissolving into Pure Awareness

An Experiential Contemplation

In this experiential meditation, we set aside thought and memory to explore the actual experience of the body as pure sensation. By enquiring into the actual felt sense of the body as it is directly experienced, we discover first that it arises in the loving, empty presence of awareness. And later that awareness is the very substance or reality of the body itself.

I who am in love with the All,
am caught in the radiance
where everything is everything else.

— Hadewijch
