Pobsa is one spelling of Poep Sa, a Korean term meaning "Dharma Teacher." Pobsa Frank Jude presents an occasionally irreverent but always sincere take on Buddhism... philosophy, practice, and history. Ordained in the Korean Seon (Zen) tradition, Pobsa presents an approach to Zen Buddhism he calls "Zen Naturalism", a secular religious approach eschewing all forms of supernaturalism. Most episodes will present a teaching or practice. Other episodes will involve conversation with other teachers and practitioners.
In the last episode, I presented the traditional contemplation of the Five Great Elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space) and with this episode I present a contemplation on the 21 elements most common in our human bodies. Through this practice we connect with our interbeing with the universe as we contemplate that the very elements of our bodies were fabricated in stars that exploded as supernovae.

32. Mindfulness of Elements: Traditional 5 Elements
In this episode, I offer an introduction to the five elements taught throughout traditional Indian yoga teachings, including the basis for Ayurveda: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space.
These are not mere substances but principles of matter, including the bodymind. This contemplation is found as part of the First Domain of Mindfulness, The Body, taught in the "Satipatthana-Sutta".After introducing the elements, I offer a short practice.

Ep 31: Mindfulness Yoga 2
In this companion episode to Ep 30, I present some pointers as to how we can bring vedana-sati (mindfulness of feelings) into our asana practice. This is NOT a led practice session, but more a tutorial on principles of practice.
I'd love to hear from any of you if you find this approach helpful.
