00:00 Meditation Q&A
01:45 Meditate Together
15:43 I am struggling with ADHD’s symptoms of not being able to take necessary action. There is habitual procrastination and resistance. How do I break the pattern and do the work as needed?
18:37 I was riding in a car with my dad. I didn't want to lose the concentrate on the risings and fallings, but I also wanted to enjoy looking at the beautiful landscape. How can I have both?
22:14 Do you have any tips for keeping up with a meditation schedule while doing some travelling?
24:48 I need stimulation for work/study. Caffeine, techno music, L-tyrosine, exercise. Mindfulness helps observe "bored, distracted, aversion" but doesn't help motivation. Should I abandon daily stimulation?
27:21 I am frequently distracted in meditation. Since distraction is a hindrance, can I still have insight from it; like seeing non-self? Should I go back to the abdomen after some time of distraction?
28:27 When is it reasonable to do more sitting or even skip walking without cultivating aversion?
29:37 If wrong views arise, like believing in self, seeking pleasure is good, idle chatter, lust, alcohol, etc. Should we just note "thinking, wandering, confused, wanting"? Is reasoning/reflection required?
32:15 I often experience tiredness and drowsiness during meditation, even stumbling during walking or nodding off when sitting. Is it beneficial to sleep more, in the short term?
35:39 Why don't desires such as wanting to eat, drink, or teach meditation, cause rebirth?
37:08 What sort of qualification should one have to be authorized to create a space that teaches the meditation technique you teach? I'm thinking of creating one here in my city, in Brazil.
40:09 I have feelings for someone and want to take action. As I understand, I should note "wanting", then not act? It seems wrong for me to isolate myself and avoid contact when this would make me happier.
42:55 How to deal with self-blame and perfectionism? They create physical sensations, and it is really hard to be with them as they don't go away.
45:10 Can progress in insight meditation eventually cause an attitude of indifference to one's own life? Or does it only bring peace?
47:08 When I notice myself liking something, should I make a note of liking or the object of liking?
48:00 How do you stop feeding into anxiety and just feeling dizzy and off-balance?
49:12 Is it beneficial to try and abstain from indulgences we are addicted to, before we have progressed to the point of letting them go?
51:35 What are the Vipassana jhanas, and do they differ from the Vipassana you teach?
56:16 Sadhu...
