Mindfulness starts with the body

Practices of Tibetan Tantric Yoga, like Lu Jong and Tog Chöd taught by Fast Yoga, allows us to develop a blissful body in a mindful mind.


Check how neurocientists are researching the use of Mindfulness therapies in reducing chronic pain and depression relapse (link - Frontiers in Human NeuroScience).

In this study, the researchers conclude that " the proposed framework aligns with Buddhist teachings that mindfulness starts with “mindfulness of the body.” 

Translating this theory into neurophysiology, we hypothesize that mindfulness practitioners better detect and regulate when their mind wanders. This enhanced regulation of somatic mind-wandering may be an early stage of mindfulness training, leading to cognitive regulation and metacognition."
