This week we’re going to be reviewing fundamentals. It will be a good week to make sure you’re not missing any key aspects to your practice. The role of aspects such as posture, intention, relaxation, acceptance, effort, meta-awareness and the three characteristics in insight will all be put into practice in the session’s two guided meditations.
We’ll explore how posture affects your alertness and emotional state, intention can improve your meta-awareness, how relaxation and acceptance can help to deconstruct phenomena and why focusing on the three characteristics are central to insight regardless of whether you’re doing noting, fire kasina or body scanning.
