2023-04-18 Mindfulness of Vedanā, Feeling Tone, The Second Foundation of Mindfulness (Retreat at Spirit Rock) 1:18:12
We explore the three kinds of feeling tone: pleasant, unpleasant and neutral, and also, their underlying tendencies of grasping, aversion, and ignorance. Spanning feelings that arise from the body and mind as well as worldly and unworldly vedanā, we investigate how to create space between the feeling tone and the reactivity that usually follows it so that awareness of feeling can lead to awakening.
