Experiencing Your Body Without Boundaries 

If you give this a try during the video, or on your own afterward, let me know how it goes :)

Funny, I have often considered myself something of an energetic clod. Not all that sensitive to subtler energies, not often experiencing the more dramatic ones I hear others describe. But I felt this. As I’m listening to your talks and interviews, I feel myself softening and opening, letting down old guards and defenses. The experience is that I’m being slowly but unmistakably re-wired. Or maybe un-wired. It’s gentle and gradual. More like a stone warming in the sun than like a volcano erupting, or water boiling away into steam. It’s both profound and subtle, unstoppable yet patient. In your lovely interview with Matt, which I listened to earlier today, you mentioned that even now you sometimes wonder why you make these videos. All I can say in response is that I’m very grateful that you do. Of course I know that listening to another can be a trap, a laziness, yet another way to avoid our own direct experience. But I never have that experience here. Your clear, unpressured guidance is a welcome pointer and companion, delivered with precision, integrity and grace. Thank you, Angelo. 🙏🔥🌊💎

This made me think about the story you told about the girl who after awakening she washed her hair and it was like the first time she ever actually felt her hair that way. It also make me think of when you get dental work and the gum is numb and just how weird it feels to touch the gum with your fingertip on the outside but you can't feel it from the "inside" because it numb? I don't know how this relates but I figured I'd share 😜

Very helpful - more of these, please! And for other senses, including thought, to eventually dispose of all overlays to what is.

It reminds me of watching my grandchildren as babies. Looking at their limbs and linking whatever they were feeling with the movement of that thing that they're looking at. Body awareness is not inborn. So I start this meditation imagining I'm a newborn.

Absolutely love this practice. It feels like the sensation is coming from all corners of my awareness. I can keep my focus on the body for a significant amount of time without thoughts. I'm going to use this as a daily meditation 🧘‍♂️ 😌. It is so amazing. Namaste 🙏

Great pointer/Great practice….Thx Angelo. Feeling the body (so to speak) is one of my favorites that I always seem to return to.

This has greatly expanded my understanding of body in the mind. I was forcing the belief of locality in my senses until now. Thank you again for another experiencing is knowing episode 🙏

Hey bud, Thanks for answering my question. It seems many are interested in it. My initial try : First I noticed is the immediate overlay images of the foot appearing immediately after the sensation creating the body. Very fast and quickly repeating like an image vibration. After a few minutes I cannot tell difference between foot and floor as sensation spreads out. I notice attention wanting to spread to different sensations and as this happens I notice a tension between whichever are noticed next from the last one. Almost like they are pulling between them. Images are trying to constantly tell me what the sensation is but there is trying to ignore them and go back into the sensation. Then one sensation becomes the whole experience followed by the next extremely fast. The inbetween tension is noticed until it kinda spreads out into one whole energetic field and just kinda keeps going out. I feel a subtle pulsation like a breath but energetically. There is energetic popping in several places with are sensations all over face, arms etc.. as the images try to take back control of the experience. I guess the work is to not let them. Thanks again. I'll keep working as always. ------ Tony

It took me maybe 4 or 5 goes to get this - but it clicked today and It worked wonderfully. The problem I had the first few times is I went looking for some deep, fundamental thought & I wasnt paying attention to the simple thought at the surface level of mind that was what I was actually trying to avoid. Just thought I'd share for anyone else who didn't land with this the first time! Come back to it if you dont get traction immediately.

No being. No non-being. Thanks for the video and the practice example. 🙏

I really enjoyed this, many thanks. I love the guided meditations.

Loving this. Thanks!!!!

Very helpful aware free feeling thanks

'NUTS & BOLTS'! very appreciated

bringing attention to the sensations in the mouth is very effective to see there is no mouth, no tongue, no teeth. also rubbing the feet together works well to see there are no feet! finally (a la douglas harding) bringing attention to the sensations and colours called a head/nose, it’s easily seen there is no head or nose at all x)

Thabk you your are genius and your content is so real.can relate to it.thabk you for sharing light 🕯️🕯️🕯️

I was out walking and I couldn't feel my body. It's below freezing, but it wasn't perceptible. I just floated along, watching everything move past or through my field of vision. And now, sitting here, doing this exercise, I felt the pulse and the breath, but the rest of the body is still out of focus. Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm dissociated or relaxed or simply nothing at all. It feels good to be still. Especially when I'm moving.

What an excellent video. Thank you for explaining about the images of our body that we might mistake as the actual experience of the body. Very useful that you pointed that out. Thank you

love it. Love how you show us, how to get in touch with reality. Please give us more of these getting-in-touch-with-pure-sensations-videos. Seeing. Tasting. Hearing. thanks so much Angelo 🙏

I just listened to this in my car after my daily power walk. It’s great! I started to get sleepy but I could still pay attention. Great topic-where does the body really end? What is the true boundary of the body? Nice stuff!

This can be a wonderful practice. The body contains all truths to be revealed with continued practice. Until it is seen as atoms, dancing and rotating in various gravitational fields of undulating, pulsating expression. The greatest of which is the one that holds the very sense of body together itself. Once that field of projection is understood, and seen clearly, the very consciousness itself that coalesces the body and the multitude of worlds for it to express and play in; then we may start to experience consciousness at play as a universe in relationship with itself. But there IS more, a greater abiding beyond even consciousness itself. Settle for nothing less than THAT! My own tradition (Thai forest tradition) settles for nothing less. The body itself is the keyhole to what abides beyond all names and forms. Simple, and effective practice reveals. Live spiritually poor, let go of all the riches of teachings, complex practices, Shaktipats and Transmissions. Simple practice does it when not complicated with riches. The very fact that you are, indicates you have been bestowed with the very means. Metta!

So helpful!! Thank you!! ❤️

Been playing about with the feeling sense quite a bit recently. Either feeling into the experience of "Center of the body and body as the center", or the exact same "contact point with the ground" investigation, which has kind of become "feel the Planet, feel Space. Space, Planet." Using words to tune into the openness, then the groundedness. Then dropping that for just the feelings, then just as one feeling. It's really interesting to move beyond words and images, and in doing so notice that those things have a kinaesthetic texture themselves and that the "realities" are still just further layers of subtlety (even if they are really huge layers). Also, when standing, working on alignment and relaxation leads to the body falling into the contact points with the ground so that is the main area of feeling awareness. This can get extremely, i don't know how to say, non directional, or multidimensional maybe. So it's interesting to take it into light sparring, because getting clocked brings it back to a functional reality, But there is also an increased ability to blend with the movement and intention of the "other" which is more readily available in feeling than it is in sight. Playing with the overlap of those and with breath/body is fun too. Short version: Feeling extends beyond the body. And the environment, both as present moment info, and as held feelings and memories, occur within the body. As such, I have no idea what a body actually is, but there does appear to be a volitional aspect to how mind and senses interact and the feeling I choose to inhabit. Everything occurs within awareness though, so that's the main "body", or the only constant one. The rest depends on where awareness is directed.

Thy I always appreciates the videos you upload simultaniously spontaniously. Thankyou always... much i d k ness. Keep rockin on. Thankyou ✌😁🙏

Thank you brother.

Have done this meditation a few times, and it at least elevates my mood. If mood is even a thing.

One day I was listening to Rupert spira ,he said body is not aware you are aware, write there I found this energy pulses through the body in whole universe, it’s still and of changing continuously , is this is you are describing write ! I was wanted the confirmation about this, help me please, i just love your videos,they’re life changing,every day I wait for your new post. Thank you very much.love

Angelo!! This was it!!! I keep trying to figure out what happened to me when I was driving over that really high bridge. I was scared to drive over it but told myself to just breath and it'll be okay. Haha joke was on me. While I was breathing my way through the drive, it felt like everything's got squishy, the bridge started to filker almost like what you would see when a migraine gives you spots. These were similar but instead of spots blocking the visual it was like looking through a fish eye camera lens. I thought I was gonna puke. I've driven over this bridge 100's of times, and never liked it. This time was just off the charts disorienting. I was so afraid I would fall 200 feet through the bridge and into the river. I wish someone would talk about the hazards of awakening and everyday life interactions. Im an armed officer, and really don't want one of these episodes while I'm doing my job. The conundrum is that I'm so much better with interactions when I'm lit up and in the flow. HaaaalP Pleeeeezzz 🙏 🌬💕

This video is da bomb! thank you!!

VERY helpful. Such a clear explanation ... I now have an understanding of this that was a challenge for me before. I'm very sense oriented, and couldn''t get past the body boundary. Now I get it and will use this practice. Thank you

Your gift has high value, I say thank you and wish you success.

How is it possible to function as a person, and make videos, interviews, speak to somebody, or understand a friend going through some suffering? It's so hard to conceive from our perception. Thank you so much for those discussions, taking us so close to "this" , but "this" has it's own agenda: no use making any effort, if consciousness still wants to play in the illusion, so let's play for the moment, and just laugh about this!

Very helpful. Thank you. The sensation is like a tingling effervescent with no boundary. Just it! This will be very helpful to me. Thank you.

Wow! This was wonderful, thank you so very much!

Seems like a vehicle for connecting with spirit, especially since the body is just a transient vehicle.

I enjoy these tutorials mixed in with your other videos. BTW, I think your Batgap bump got you over 4k subs, congrats!

I seemed to start getting to a point where all bodily sensation was, for want of a better term, 'in the same place' (although 'place' definitely isn't right). Sound was also in that same 'place', and the mottled black view from my closed eyes. The mind separates 'feeling', 'sight' and 'sound' into separate layers in this not-place: I wonder what happens with more attention paid to the conceptual border between these layers

6:32 The belief that this is emanating from a body, It’s a belief, (the body), we learned it, you won’t find that information in the sensation itself ❤

I needed some simple practice to do that was without narrative e and just about practice

In fact, you can say that we are like a “black box/void/screen” with 6 inputs: 5 senses plus thoughts.

this was so helpful! thank you

This seems to point me in the right direction. I sense my feet where of course for decades they are present below me . Then I purposely sense that they are felt in a different location. For me that breaks the conditioned sense of locality . Once that has been challenged it seems easier for me to all of a sudden sense a non localized experience of just sensing. Does that make sense?

Great video. I dont know if you've covered this topic but I almost never hear anyone mention the visuals. I feel like this could be scary as fuck for someone unfamiliar to them. Ive only been on this path for about 4 months and have experienced some pretty intense shit comparable to a full on lsd trip especially after opening my third eye. I was never warned about this and dont think many are aware of this.

Angelo, could you talk more about how to process bad energy blocks in the body? Like for example many of us get energy blocks in the head or the heart or throat area. Should those be approached in this same way?

My ego says: this guy's the real deal

So helpful

We think we are inside something but we are something inside no thing.

Thank you for this practice! Is it normal for objects to feel different or more dense after tapping in and out of this? I picked up my phone after closing my eyes and doing this, and it felt…. Heavier? Like the sensation of the phone was more closely related to my touching it and holding it, if that makes any sense. Thank you!

@simplyalwaysawake Can meditation on the body sense lead to awakening? If so how best to approach it? Or is Shikantaza/Choiceless awareness the better foundational meditation?

I became nothing then fell asleep, woke up to my alarm

Hey man! This practice also serves to bring health to the body, right? I remember eckhart tolle mentioning that by bringing awareness to the body, we also restore its health. Or is there another technique that you recommend to heal the body and, at the same time, promote awakening? I would apreciate the answer a lot, thank you

Angelo, can you please make a similar video on visual experience?

Problem is every time I return back to this practice, the image always gets formed and it doesn't seem to fall away

Him: You may experience strange sensations Me: Yes now I am a jelly fish. No starfish. No I am... Sponge bob.

ET gave same concept 'feel your hands'....

Apropos of nothing, perfect matchup between your hoodie and the background.

Still there are other people. And the observer (me), observes (at least visually) from specific point or center and not for example from other center or point in space.

This seems like a type of meditation, but you never used the word "meditation". Any particular reason?

Good exercise, yet there is still the observer who feels all these.

So very early on in this video. Before you started talking about feeling the feet together or the space between the feet, the feeling of my body disappeared, I was feeling a very strong, warm sensation which didn't seen to have a start of finish, I couldn't feel any individual body part, it was like I was just a sensation with no boundary, if that makes any sense? Kinda like occasionally when I meditate, and I get lost in the meditation to the point I can't feel my body, just resting in peace and bliss.
