Eve Decker
Eve has been offering reflections on the Buddha's teaching - MN 20 - on dis-identifying from non-useful thoughts. After a quick review of the Buddha's five suggestions, we'll take a deep dive into #4 - 'Focusing on stilling the formation of non-useful thoughts', which means bringing awareness directly, with curiosity and respect, to the physical tension or emotional reactivity that is typically there with negative judgment of self or other. To do this, we will look at work local Buddhist teacher Donald Rothberg has developed which can help us to transform the judgmental mind.
