When we bring awareness to major intentions, we can make wise/wholesome choices & the practice of continuity of mindfulness, concurrence and concentration.
Week Four Homework:
1. Daily meditation: 20-30 minutes.
2. Notice your “top three hits” (the thought patterns that are most recurrent). Do they preoccupy you or distract you from the present moment?
3. What helps you connect or reconnect to the present moment?
Pain is a given and suffering is optional. Mindfulness of unpleasant feelings, such as pain, can transform pain into fertile soil for wisdom and for freedom from suffering to arise.
Mindfulness of feelings plays a crucial role in our daily life and practice. The arising of feelings is beyond our control but mindfulness of them can make a difference between being in bondage and being free from suffering.
