This closing talk from a silent retreat points to the integration of our practice in daily life, with mindfulness as the golden thread that runs through all things.
This talk describes Mindfulness as the balancing factor that restores the upset or confused mind to a state of expansive and benevelent peace. It is a awakening of the point of practice.
Embodying the mind - mindfulness of body - counteracts the effects of "loss" (ignorance). Loss is loss of presence - accompanied by either tightening or collapsing.
