• Shares practices to show how sitting meditation can be reconnected to lived, bodily experience and help you rediscover your natural somatic radiance
• Explores how the modern thought-focused frame of mind introduces patterns of holding and tension into our bodies
• Draws on techniques from the Buddhist, Sufi, and somatic wisdom traditions as well as insights from the author's own teachers and collaborators, including Ida Rolf and Judith Aston
The modern practice of seated meditation is in serious need of reformation. What began as a living, vibrant, and felt practicethe primary practice of the Buddhist path to spiritual realizationhas painted itself into a corner of frozen stillness, divorced from lived, bodily experience.
Presenting an accessible and deeply felt guide to sitting meditation as an active exploration, Will Johnson offers a revitalized understanding of this essential spiritual practice through deeper connection with the body. Johnson argues that the thought-focused mode of consciousness of modern rigid seated meditation introduces patterns of holding and tension into our bodies and virtually guarantees that awakening will not occur. He explains how our focus on thought, rather than embodied experience, results in a numbing of our connection to our physical self and the dimming of the body's natural somatic radiance, which in turn leads to the nagging presence of chronic pain, a general sense of malaise, and the inability to get comfortable in our own bodies.
However, this consciousness of separation can be overcome. Johnson presents a wide range of practices, including 14 meditations, to support the awakening of breath and presence in the body, drawing on techniques from Buddhist, Sufi, and somatic wisdom traditions as well as methods from his studies with Ida Rolf and Judith Aston.
Through the radical path of conscious sitting, Johnson shows how to transform your sitting meditation practice into a fully natural mudra of greater grace from which radiance will naturally flow. As the egoic perspective is dissolved, and chronic pain and discomfort are lessened, practitioners begin to feel a new, enlightened, bodily radiancewhat Johnson calls The Great Wide Open.
