Mindfulness (With Q&A)
This talk / Q&A was originally posted on Ven. Yuttadhammo Bhikkhu’s YouTube Channel. To watch it on YouTube kindly click here.
00:00 Welcome
01:12 On the topic of... Mindfulness
26:15 Should one try to note only around once per second? I find at times that noting arises automatically, and quite quickly too. If I try to slow it down, then I wouldn't be noting in the present moment.
27:09 How can I attain mindfulness with kasina meditation?
30:19 These days I am losing motivation for almost evrything. Doing a little amount of work seems to be a heavy burden. I am trying to work on that but could you give me some tips?
32:20 I feel my mind is like waves which gets higher then lower in nature. How does one balance the mind in a practical method?
35:10 As a lay person, I'm having a hard time balancing my practice of seeing experience clearly, with the feeling that I owe all beings to serve them. Any advice?
41:40 Whenever I am mindful of my breath, noting rising and falling, I keep controlling my breath. Any advice on how I can fix this?
43:54 To overcome lust you suggest to recognize seeing, pleasure and liking when they arise. Could you clarify the difference between pleasure and liking? (the vedana and the hindrance)
45:22 When I'm aware of the breath, I cannot become aware of other things. Any advice?
46:13 On my job, I frequently deal with anxiety stemming from fear of failure. How can I resolve this fear? Just being mindful with it doesn't seem to help. Do I need to get deeper insight into my fears?
48:55 While I'm quite able to practice during the day in every situation easy or difficult, at home I have big problems in just starting a session of formal meditation - like an unbearable monster. Any tips?
50:37 I have read your booklet and have watched your instructional videos and have been practicing accordingly. But I haven't taken the online course yet due to some difficulties. Is it safe to do this?
54:58 During walking meditation, when we find ourselves thinking or feeling, etc., should we bring our feet together and note thinking/feeling and then continue anew with the stepping progression?
55:48 If strong desires are blocking me from mindfulness, what should I do?
56:47 Can I use noting to be mindful in between meditation sessions? Can noting help me from reaching for sweets to calm my strong emotions?
57:07 How can we develop more insights in life via practices? Many a time, it seems I could have done better simply by having a better insight of the situation.
59:12 Could you explain how meditation helps to reduce mental attachment? I always feel depressed because of my attachment towards the people whom I love. Can we love someone without strong mental attachment?
1:03:03 How do sensory pleasures affect mindfulness?
