Embodiment Training focuses on the following nine practices. All practitioners explore the first six of these practices. The last three depend on circumstances and personal inclinations.

As important as it is to bring a sitting meditation practice into your life, it is equally important to extend the practice throughout your day. When you get up from your cushion, you can continue with the practice through the application of embodied mindfulness: seeing what's here to be seen, hearing what's here to be heard, surrendering to the energies and sensations of the body that are here to be felt. In the practice of embodied mindfulness, the sensory fields merge together as one, and the breath breathes through the whole body. The basic manual for mindfulness practice is Aligned, Relaxed, Resilient: The Physical Foundations of Mindfulness (Shambhala, 2000) by Will Johnson.
