00:00 Welcome
00:33 Meditation Q&A
16:30 I'm struggling to find peace and accept issues in my surroundings. There have been children breaking my property and I confronted them but lied and said I was visiting. Was I wrong to lie?
18:15 I want to practice noting all the time, but can I do this with a good conscience, when there is so much suffering in the world?
19:21 Is it necessary to mentally repeat even if we are observing and not reacting or judging in that moment?
21:37 Sometimes I find it hard to find the correct word to label an experience. What should I note?
22:25 I find it useless to note whatever arises at any given moment, never seeing anything through. It just results in flitting around, fickle mindedness, never seeing experiences clearly. Please advise.
24:58 Can we react wholesomely to certain objects during meditation? For example, when we feel unsafe, create the thought "I'm safe"?
27:16 When trying to remain present in daily life, there are so many objects I could pay attention to. What should I choose? Or is it more of a relaxed presence with whatever is arising?
28:39 Being totally aware of my state of mind is mindfulness and/or enlightenment. I know that my mind Is now sad, happy, angry, jealous, or compassionate, etc... Is this understanding correct?
30:36 Some people are torturing me in the most evil and pernicious of ways. What should I do?
31:42 How to meditate and be mindful in sleep?
32:01 Is it better to investigate suspicions that have been eating away at your thoughts, or wait for things to present themselves to you naturally?
33:33 The Internet today is made to be addictive as much as possible, to keep a person's mind occupied all of the time. How to break free from this cycle and the fear of missing out, which comes from trying to avoid it?
35:22 When noting a feeling like fear, I usually imagine the thing that brought it up and i feel the feeling to the end until it dissolves. Is this the right way of practice?
36:24 How many hours of sleep do advanced meditators need? Does deep meditation regenerate the body like sleep?
37:40 How to deal with chronic suicidal thoughts with mindfulness? I find it really hard to stand back and just observe them with kindness.
40:12 When you have a negative thought, and you are aware of it, but the mind keeps generating more negative thoughts... how can you break the cycle?
41:37 How should a lay person approach planning ... since it is experienced that most of the times the day does not go as planned ... is it useful at all?
44:09 Does mindfulness help regulate and process emotions rather than repressing them?
45:24 I'm chanting "Buddha" at all times, in meditation and daily activities. If Ihad an accident and died suddenly, my soul is inclined to go to Buddha’s realm. Is this practice correct?
51:25 Since noting fear and other unwholesome emotions have somewhat dissolved and I'm mostly so happy but I still feel some sadness when someone else is sad, Is compassion taking the suffering of others?
55:57 I have too much anxiety, especially while public-speaking or doing an important task in my life. Yesterday, this happened very strongly, and my heart rate went very high. It felt like I would die or want to die. Do you have any advice?
58:51 Do you have any advice for estrangement / strained relationships with family, etc.?
1:01:57 Sadhu...
