27:12 While practicing mindfulness and noting during daily life, I've experienced periods of no thought in conversation that make it hard to talk to others. When present my mind is still/blank. Do you have any tips on what to do?
30:24 I'm not in an environment where I can sit down and meditate, currently. Would you suggest mentally noting my experiences instead?
32:07 Whenever I ride with my family they play such vulgar music. What could I do to remain mindful when this upsets me?
33:36 Whenever someone is continually being irritating just to see me get angry, what should I note?
35:17 Sometimes I can notice the three marks of phenomena in meditation. However, that knowledge seems to me only intellectual. Is there any advice to transition from intellectual knowledge into real knowledge? Or are patience and diligence in the practice my greatest allies?
38:46 How can one let go of someone? The meditation practice seems to get stuck when all the thought patterns continuously cling to the person.
42:56 How can we easily forgive?
45:30 How do I note "distracted" while I am distracted (lost in some thoughts)?
46:28 In meditation I sometimes find my mind wonders overwhelmingly. I try to go back to the rise and fall of the belly, and note "thinking" but thoughts are still overwhelming and hard to calm down. What do I do?
48:10 When I send the mind to the place of itching, I find the itching coming and going and not constant. Should I only note when I feel the itch happening, and stop when it stops temporarily?
49:16 When I send the mind to the sitting posture, sometimes I can recognize the sitting and other times I can't. Is this because I am expecting to have the same experience of sitting as before?
50:06 It feels like in order for the noting to be proper, I have to wait for the experience to happen. Is this always necessary?
50:56 Is it possible to get to a mindfulness level of seeing 100% clearly if you are only lying in a hospital bed?
51:32 While I try to note everything, my speed of working decreases. When I have to do something quickly, I lose my mindfulness. May I have some advice about this?
52:19 What is it going on in my body when it goes numb and feels vibration when I meditate?
53:38 I haven't been meditating lately, and I feel like I'm going back to my old ways and habits. Any advice?
55:12 Can one reach Nibbana in lay life?
55:45 When we note thinking, does that indicate that we are not the thinker and we are simply aware of our thoughts?
56:38 Can I meditate incorrectly? I think I have meditated incorrectly for at least 6 months. I am trying to be the "observer" but sometimes I get sucked into my thoughts and waste my time.
