Day 24. Mental Constructions

In this episode, we pay attention to how life differs in terms of simply experiencing it, versus making a mental construction of it. We practice going beyond the mental constructions, not reacting to them, while simple acknowledging them as they are: mental constructions. We also learn to stay in the direct, raw experience that life is. Always, in the here and now. Allowing mental constructions to be there, and noticing when they help us, when they limit or hinder us, and learning to differentiate them from life itself. These recordings were created in real-life settings, so you may occasionally hear background sounds. In a way, they are part of the invitation: to meet each moment, pleasant or unpleasant, with openness and awareness.
