Deepening Meditation with Mindfulness of Body

Wai Cheong

About the Teaching

The Buddha has stated that the practice of mindfulness of body brings great fruit and great benefit. By returning our attention to our body, we heal the connection between mind and body. This helps us to release unnecessary physical stress reactions and allow our body to regain its malleability and pliancy. This in turn leads to the arising of pleasant feelings of rapture and contentment, which helps to calm and settle our mental stress reactions. Mindfulness of body can lead to deeper states of calmness and insight. In this workshop we will explore the different ways we can apply mindfulness to our body and derive the benefits from such a practice.

This workshop features several sessions of guided meditations with explanations and time for Q&A or discussion. All are welcome; no prerequisite needed.

Wai Cheong

Wai Cheong Kok is from Singapore. He has been teaching meditation and Buddhism since 1996, with a special interest in making available the benefits of meditation to a wider audience. From 2006-2015 and starting from 2020, he has served as a senior teacher at Vajrayana Institute, a Tibetan Buddhist Centre affiliated to the Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT). After studying Dharma for several years, Wai Cheong set out to deepen his understanding of spiritual practice by completing the first 7-year Masters program in Advanced Buddhist Studies of Sutra and Tantra at Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa in Italy from 1998-2004. This was followed by a four month solitary retreat in New Zealand.
