Let’s Practice Together with Carol Cano

Seeing Clearly, Resting Deeply

Contemplating the 32 Body Parts with a Tranquil Breath

About the Session

This guided meditation blends the calming breath of Ānāpānasati with the traditional reflection on the 32 parts of the body. Beginning with the fourth step of breath meditation—tranquilizing the bodily formation—we allow the breath to soften the body, quiet the nervous system, and ease the mind into stillness.

From this spacious presence, we gently contemplate the body—not as self, but as a collection of natural elements. This practice reveals the impermanence and impersonal nature of the body, helping release attachment and fostering inner clarity.

Held in compassion, the session closes by radiating kindness to ourselves and all beings who share this human experience.

Ideal for those seeking stillness, insight, and a deeper connection to the truth of the body.

About the Program

These times call for us to expand our individual and collective capacity to navigate uncertainty, instability, and complexity. By practicing deeply together, we strengthen our ability to meet these challenges with resilience and presence.

Throughout 2025, we will gather one Sunday a month online as a community of curious practitioners to explore the timeless wisdom of the Buddhadharma and mindfulness/Insight meditation. In each session, we will cultivate presence, deepen our meditation practice, and engage in shared reflections and inquiry. Together, we cultivate a collective heart-mind-body—a living, interconnected field—spacious enough to hold and transform whatever life brings our way.

Let's Practice Together offers a space for meaningful dialogue—an opportunity to ask questions, explore personal and collective experiences, and learn from one another. We welcome sincere and committed practitioners of all levels and backgrounds to join us on this collective path of discovery and connection.

We gratefully welcome donations of any amount that feels meaningful to you. Your support is appreciated, and everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to contribute.

Setting the Container:

We request participants attend the whole program to respect the container of the group and the teacher.

At Braided Wisdom, we strive to cultivate an online space that supports connection, presence, and collective care. While we invite participants to have their cameras on to help nurture a sense of community, we wholeheartedly honor that there are many reasons someone may choose otherwise. We encourage you to meet yourself where you are, and if any needs arise around this, you’re warmly invited to reach out to us at info@braidedwisdom.org.

Please note, there is a possibility the session may go over 15 minutes. It would be great if you can stay, and we understand if you need leave at 11:30 am PT.
