In this video, we look at mindfulness of the breath, body, thoughts, and emotions, and the importance of building a stable foundation of single-pointed concentration to allow us to notice our thoughts, patterns and behaviours in our everyday life.
We look at then just letting these thoughts go – without judgment, or interpretation; without attaching the narrative of ego, and indulging conceptual stories that keep us in a loop of self-identification e.g. rather than “I AM anxious” we can notice that “anxiety is happening.”
We explore how insight meditation (Vipassana) can be used as a separate and complementary practice, to further investigate insights around what our mind attends to, our thoughts, patterns and beliefs – so that we can consciously start to re-program our behaviors and responses.
