Listen "BAD Meditation: It actually Teaches Us a Lot | Vipassana | Self Knowledge | Ajahn Dhammasiha"
Episode Synopsis
What we consider a 'bad' meditation session, e.g. the mind can't settle down and is struggling with strong emotions like anger, lust and anxiety, can be very useful to gain insight into our own character. Rather than being upset with ourselves thinking 'I can't really meditate'; or becoming frustrated and demotivated; we investigate the obstructions to gain insight and understanding into our own character and the working of our mind. Once we've identified them, we can apply wisdom and skilful means to overcome them, contemplating them to let go of them.WebsiteOur Spotify PlaylistsNewsletterDhammagiri Youtube ChannelPics#meditation #buddhistmeditation #insight #vipassana #wisdom #kilesa #defilements.
