in- Habit the body

What is spirituality?? All of our parts, some visible, some invisible but sensed? what about those parts we recognise in nature, in others??

I find that in the depth and spaciousness in the body this question dissolves. No answer is needed as the question doesn't exist anymore. The minds function is to look at everything- explore. This exploration takes us to what we sense. In the body it returns to dissolution. Absorbed by the peace that is the body.

The point that remains is the body is a true refuge to our wandering mind, our sense of being lost finds home in the body. Of course, in the superficial way the body appears dense and static. On being in the body we find sensation and impulses of movement, agitation, pulsing. Still being here - very patiently if we stay here with these sensations , it becomes clear that all this is superficial. The real body- what is underneath is this steadiness, this flow. And this is peaceful no matter what we notice is happening in the surface. Like underwater it is dense, moving and peaceful. This is the spaciousness which is the mind- as thoughts, feeling in my own body. And my mind rests here.  In the deep, moving, silent, space .

The part of our mind we call the body

beginning with “the part of our minds we call the body,” we find easier access to stabilizing our awareness. As Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche points out, if we work with the body, we can avoid forcing the mind to be quiet. The mind will quiet naturally, because body and mind profoundly affect one another. Focused on the body, our mind is less likely to wander off into our own story lines.
