Weekly Discussion & Meditation: Somatic Koans

# 3/1 Meeting: "Awakening Through the Body" By Will Johnson

Regular Sunday Meeting, March 1 @ 4:30 pm in Dunwoody.
This week, we will be discussing the following new series:

## "Awakening Through the Body"

By Will Johnson

> In Awakening Through the Body, a new series, meditation teacher Will Johnson introduces somatic koans. Like traditional Zen koans, which use paradoxical inquiries to transform how we think, these experiential inquiries transform how—and what—we feel.
> Can you sit both fully upright and at ease? Can you breathe through your entire body? Can you feel the hum of aliveness just beneath your skin?
> By using these "physiological hacks” to explore our embodied experience, we not only avoid the tensions associated with long sedentary sessions, says Johnson—we turn hidden patterns of energy and sensation into doorways to relaxation and insight.

Please listen prior to the meeting. Here is a link to the lecture on the Waking Up app: https://app.wakingup.com/packs/PKE552A?lid=a1d7gxn1psj8&source=Pack&dl=1
