Daily Meditation Recordings, with Christine Kupfer – Week of April 10, 2022

This week’s topic is “Body like a temple”. We often refer to the body as if it were a functional tool. We talk about my body, as if it were supposed to be at our service. Sometimes all it takes is one breath for everything to change, and in a dazzle, we experience body as a temple, a sanctuary for life. What is a temple?

In our daily meditations this week, we will bow to the miracle of the body that we are, honoring the presence of life unfolding in all its realities.

In this session we will learn practices that enable us to go beyond this limited perception of reality to touch how interconnected with all life we are.
