Embodied Mindfulness Meditation

<p><b>Podcast Intro – Heart Attending</b></p><p>Welcome.<br>This is a space to slow down, to arrive, and to listen — not only with the mind, but with the heart and the body.</p><p>I’m Dina A. Kushnir. My work offers a feminine, embodied approach to somatic meditation and spiritual awakening — one that begins not with effort or striving, but with tenderness, presence, and loving attention.</p><p>At the center of my guidance is a practice I call Heart Attending: an invitation to awaken the heart to awareness, to meet yourself with kindness, and to allow loving attention to become the ground of healing and awakening.</p><p>In a world that often pulls us out of ourselves — into speed, fragmentation, and self-judgment — this practice invites a return. A return to the body as an ally. A return to the breath as a home. A return to the quiet wisdom already living within you.</p><p>Through Heart Attending, the body, breath, sensations, emotions, feelings, and perceptions become doorways — not obstacles — to presence and peace. As we cultivate gentle awareness and compassion toward ourselves, somatic and emotional healing unfold naturally, forming the foundation for all spiritual growth.</p><p>The roots of my work are in Buddhist Vipassana meditation, with a deep emphasis on embodied awareness and the direct experience of body sensations. For over three decades, I have guided meditation groups, retreats, and classes, integrating this lineage with somatic, body–mind, and emotional healing modalities from both Eastern and Western traditions.</p><p>In this podcast, you are invited to rest, to feel, and to remember what it is like to be at home in yourself.<br>There is nothing you need to fix, achieve, or become.</p><p>Just bring your presence.<br>And let the heart attend.</p>
