Mindfulness of Feelings
Channel: SF Dharma Collective
Date: 13/01/2023

Eve began tonight's meditation with a focus on posture and led us through a mindfulness of feelings practice. While investigating our senses, we noted what is pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. We continued our discussion from the book “Old Path White Clouds” by Thich Nhat Hanh, chapters 11 & 12.
