Reading from Joseph Goldstein’s “Mindfulness” and Bhikkhu Analayo’s “Mindfulness of Breathing” to understand what meditative concentration is and how to approach it.
Exploring trauma in addiction and meditation. Discriminating between ordinary suffering and severe trauma. This moves on to discussing depression, feeling, and naming uncomfortable states, making them more real.
Reflecting on separating mindfulness from the larger Dharma. The importance of an integrated practice, including morality, wisdom, and mind training. Viewing the practice as a long term training rather than a fix.
April 29, 2025. Reading from my own work in progress, “Let It Go,”, referencing Judson Brewer’s “Craving Mind”, and Christina Grof’s” Thirst for Wholeness.”
