Meditation Lab III

In this video Prof Chris Goto Jones discusses some issues you might experience during the experiential learning sessions.

In this video, I discuss some issues that you might be experiencing during this week’s Meditation Lab exercises.

If you have developed a preference for one exercise over another, what is the quality of the feeling that you experience, either before, during or after the practice, that you interpret as signifying this preference? In other words, how do you know from your own direct experience of these practices which ones you prefer?

Perhaps you are experiencing the opposite, where you would prefer to avoid a particular exercise. Where does that discontent reside and in what kinds of sensations does it arise? Where is this feeling that causes you to feel that you would prefer to do something else?

And a simple question, perhaps with a complicated answer: What are you going to make of the conditions that your practice takes place in?
