Explaining how stillness in meditation refers not to a rigid and
frozen body but to a quality of mind, Will Johnson examines the
Buddha's own words at the core of the Satipatthana Sutta: "As you
breathe in, breathe in through the whole body; as you breathe out,
breathe out through the whole body"-- an instruction often
overlooked in the majority of Buddhist schools. Exploring the
Buddha's complete series of steps for deepening awareness of the
breath, he shows how to invite natural, responsive movement back
into the posture of meditation by extending breath awareness beyond
the nostrils, lungs, and abdomen to the entire body--a practice
that unifies the breath, body, and mind into a single shared
phenomenon. Showing how the flow of breath is directly affected by
chronic tensions in the body and in the mind, Johnson explains that
when breath starts flowing through more and more of the body, it
becomes a direct agent of healing, massaging and melting any areas
of tension it touches and moves through, whether physical or
emotional. By breathing through the whole body in accordance with
the Buddha's instructions on breath, the body becomes much more
comfortable, the mind starts resolving its addiction to thinking,
and meditative practice deepens much more rapidly, allowing the
teachings of the Buddha to be directly glimpsed and revealed.
