Reflections on my early practice. Anecdotes from that time, including hearing John Lennon during a meditation retreats.
Exploring the sutta “Two Kinds of Thoughts” (Majjhima Nikaya 19) which talks about letting go of unwholesome and cultivating wholesome thinking.
Exploring the term “interoception,” the internal sense perception.
