Embodied Mindfulness Meditation

About Embodied Mindfulness Meditation

Podcast Intro – Heart Attending Welcome. This is a space to slow down, to arrive, and to listen — not only with the mind, but with the heart and the body. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. In this podcast, you are invited to rest, to feel, and to remember what it is like to be at home in yourself. There is nothing you need to fix, achieve, or become. Just bring your presence. And let the heart attend.

   Module 15: Episode 4 - The Heart is the Altar

   Send me a note, love to hear from you. This meditation invites you to stay close to the heart through grief, tenderness, heartbreak, and love. The practice moves from the physical heart and its protective layers toward the energetic and spiritual heart, using the breath as an anchor. The central teaching is that we do not need to force the heart open. We can simply sit beside it like a mother beside her child—allowing grief, tears, and tenderness without immediately turning them into stories...

   Module 15: Episode 3 - the Thread of Life

   Send me a note, love to hear from you. This meditation invites us to experience the breath as the thread of life connecting body, mind, spirit, and the living world around us. By following the natural movement of the breath through the body, we learn to step out of the constant stream of thoughts and return to the immediacy of being alive. We discover how easily stress and mental stories can disconnect us from our breath—and how returning to the breath can bring us home. The practice is an i...

   Module 15: Episode 2 - Divine Presence. through movement, breath, and stillness

   Send me a note, love to hear from you. This teaching introduces shaking meditation as a sacred embodied practice that prepares the body for meditation by releasing accumulated stress and awakening natural vitality. Beginning with grounding through the feet and breathing with sound, the movement gradually travels through the entire body, helping shift the nervous system from states of tension into deep restoration. Rather than escaping the body in search of spirituality, the practice reveals ...
