Began my practice on the body dissolving and I noticed that it was hard to stay on that visualization. Not because it was uncomfortable, but because I didn’t feel any real emotional connection to it. I tried to keep coming back to imagining my body as a rotting corpse at various stages, but it didn’t really make an emotional impact on me. I didn’t really feel what I thought I should be feeling (the realization of how impermanant my body truly is). I was thinking about this after my meditation and I wondered if not ever seeing dead bodies has something to do with this. The only time I’ve ever really seen any is in the context of something on TV. I am always distanced from the experience and it always seems kind of...fake.
