In this second talk on inquiry beneath the surface through working with difficulties, we look at the basic conditioned reactions to pleasant and unpleasant, and look at how to practice and inquire on a personal and interpersonal level
The talk highlights the tendency to get lost in stories about ourselves and overlook the ever-available peace and freedom of being awake and present with what’s happening.
This talk explores Metta as a purification practice – a slow unlayering of the heart. Lots of tips for when we get stuck and how to make it very practical and applicable to our lives.
What are the principal obstacles on the path and how do we work with them? How do we work with the forces of desire, resistance in our practice and how through meditation we can transform them.
