Description
Is there such a thing as Wrong Mindfulness?  What do we do if it is too hard to welcome everything in our practice?  And how do we practice with doubt?  In this week's talk, MOI teacher Mark Wiesman addresses these questions.  In doing so, he threads the importance of mindfulness and investigation when working with questions and difficulties that inevitably arise.  First, Mark states, that we simply start with being present and aware.  Then we investigate and ask ourselves, "What is the reality here?"  As we continually engage in this process of mindfulness and investigation, the mind naturally moves towards freedom.  "It's not necessarily easy," Mark notes, "but it is possible.  It can be done."   If you feel inspired by these teachings, and wish to practice generosity, please consider supporting MOI and its teachers by visiting, https://mindfulnessoutreachinitiative.org/generosity/
