About this listen

Dina A. Kushnir presents: Embodied Mindfulness Meditations for a time of uncertainty in a changing world.

Join Dina Kushnir as she guides you to embrace a gentle path that welcomes you back home to healing and wholeness. Befriend your body and make it your ally. It will support you in a peaceful clarity and protect you from anxieties and stress.

The body is the center of these meditations. It provides a tangible physical expression of the present moment. The mind is employed in focus and concentration into body perceptions, feelings, emotions and sensations.

The benefits are multifold on all levels of our life from healing to spiritual awakening.

The foundation of Dina's work is the Buddhist Vipassana meditation, emphasizing body sensations as its core practices. She has guided meditation groups for the last three decades, integrated with deep knowledge of body/mind/emotional healing modalities from East and West.

    Body Scan: Listening to Body Signals: Moving Awareness Through the Body
    with Dina Asher Kushnir

    Introduction to Body Scan
    Mindfulness directed toward body sensations teaches us to interpret the language of our life force. By engaging in sensing, inner seeing, and visualization, we explore the body as a microcosmic landscape. This practice offers two transformative benefits:

    Deepening Concentration and Focus: Focusing on body sensations sharpens our presence and concentration.

    Promoting Healing: "Where the mind goes, energy flows." By directing attention to specific areas, we activate the body’s natural healing processes, releasing tension and fostering relaxation.

    Emotions are stored in the body as “pockets” of tension or discomfort. This practice helps soften these areas through loving attention, allowing emotions and memories to surface for healing and release. Approach this journey with gentleness and compassion.

    This Episode: Moving Awareness Through the Body
    Key Focus:
    Developing gentle awareness of each body part.
    Practice: learn the art of gentle movement of awareness from one body part to another from top of the head to the toes and back to top of the head.
    Reflection Question: "What areas of your body felt most alive or in need of attention?"

    Suggestions for Integration
    Journaling: After each session, take a few minutes to write down your observations and reflections. Note any areas of tension, memories, or emotions that surfaced.
    Daily Check-Ins: Throughout the day, take short pauses to tune into your body. Notice if any areas are calling for your attention.
