2008-07-20 Come Into The Body 44:34
Ajahn Sucitto
(44:34) CBM 20 Jul 2008 When the cascade of thoughts and feelings come rushing in, rather than, ‘What am I going to do about it?’ ask, ‘Where am I right now?’ It doesn’t seem relevant, but it brings us out of the scenario and into the body. Steadied in the flow of feeling, we can then learn the particular skill of being with rather than being in them.
