"Email Teachings"
|
On a regular basis, I have people who have studied with me or heard me speak,
email me with long in-depth questions about aspects of this practice or 'the path'
(or sometimes it's just asking for another take, like you would a from an experienced friend.)
I do my best to answer according to my understanding and experience
(and by no means am attempting to be a 'Dear Abby' or an enlightened master.)
I've just offered whatever I can to help with that particular experience and, with permission,
I have posted some of the interchanges that have proven to be particularly helpful
with the simple notion that they may prove helpful for someone else.
With gratitude to my teachers - especially Shinzen Young,
my practice, and my experience on this path.
For all my relations,
Steph

Q: I can't seem to get myself to sit every day. Any suggestions? Is it important that I do? |
|
Q: Trying Different Practices: I'm working with one kind of meditation, but just met a teacher who teaches something quite different. I'm getting confused. Q: Any ideas on how not to burn out? |
|
Q: Labeling. I find it activates my mind more and makes it more difficult. What is the advantage of labeling? |
|
|
|
Q: Watching sensations to extinction. Is that always possible or preferable? |
|
Q: Attaining deep states. Frustrations, confusions & experiences. |

Q: I played your tapes for my mom in the hospital. |
If there is no link, it simply means that I haven't had a chance to upload the exchange.
Stay tuned.
