Q1 If I remember it well citta follows moving, shifting energy. How can we feel moving energy? Is it the feeling of the breath or sound? What is non-moving energy?
08:37 Q2 what's the difference between virya, translated as energy, and citta energy?
12:12 Q3 You don't seem to use the word awareness which is often used to denote the knowing of something. Is there a connection between the felt energy and awareness?
28:28 Q4 How do you reconcile the fire of an animated heart with Buddhism's perfume of disengagement and dispassion?
32:36 Q5 how can sensation and the sequence that leads to it be described in a subtle energy approach?
43:43 Q6 What's the difference between vedana and emotion?
44:48 Q7 Sadness, sorrow, fear, joy. Are the emotions or more fixed states?
49:20 Q8 Observing the breath seems quite important, but as soon as I focus on the breath it gets forced and heavy. Do you have any advice on observing the natural breath without interfering?
52:17 Q9 What does it mean when you say the breathing is a messenger? What is the message?

Q1 Can it be that Qi Gong releases long forgotten memories?
06:40 Q2 If everything is empty, who or what dies and what is reborn if rebirth is not only a concept?
16:19 Q3 Does the Buddhist path result in the loss of loved ones because they're not on that path. For example partner, family, friends? Is there a way to have both? I feel that one side goes at the cost of the other.
20:14 Q4 I've been feeling quite bored sometimes today. How do you recommend to deal with this phenomenon? How could it be explained from a Buddhist point of view?
27:13 Q5 When I'm meditating sitting down, I sometimes feel that I'm losing the perception of a three-dimensional space. I can still feel my body but I don't feel like there's an up or a down or left or right. Is this something common?

Meditation: Listening to Life

The attitude of meditation is one of engaged listening – a relaxed, receptive yet intimate attention. This meditation explores how we can listen to sounds, listen to and feel sensations, and then relax back into the ocean of awareness that includes and perceives the changing waves. In this relaxing back, we realize the peace and freedom of inhabiting our wholeness and essence.
