Body Scan On the Three Sphere, the Three Diaphragms and Flow

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Fri, 27 Sep, 2019 - 01:00
This is talk 10 of 13 talks and led meditations given on the Path to Insight Retreat at Taraloka, July 2019. This retreat was offered to women who are training for Ordination and Order Members. The talks are available to all. In this body scan, Vidyamala continues exploration of the three spheres of the abdomen, chest and head, with the diaphragms being like swinging doors linking the spheres. This builds on the body scan introduced yesterday and is lightly led.
