A look at the man behind the teaching. Steph asks Shinzen some personal questions about his experience on the spiritual path. Later exerpts are from dharma talks & meditation sessions during residential retreats.
Shinzen guides people in meditation according to their preference of focus and/or the 'opportunities' (pain, emotions) arising within their experience.
The "INTENSE EMOTION" session has been RE-EDITED by TOPIC (vs. simply 10 minute segments.)
We've also added SILENT meditations and a LAUGHING meditation led by STEPHANIE NASH.
Shinzen describes his introduction to Native American spirituality as a ceremony & friendship with Rupert Encinas - who Stephanie Nash later interviews in Tucson, AZ
In March 2012, Shinzen Young & David Vago, Ph.D., conducted a study at Harvard Medical School on what happens in the brain with Shinzen's meditation techniques.
These are videos that are also in other playlists, but that Steph has gathered here thinking they might be supportive or helpful for any teachers or meditation facilitators.
They are arranged in order of: 1. Description of Mindfulness & 5 Ways (including demonstration of guided meditation), 2. Common basic questions, 3. Questions of Subtler Aspects of the Practice, 4. Teaching interactively & about the teaching process, 5. Demonstration of Shinzen guiding for pain.
Hope these are helpful - and feedback is MOST welcome. Steph
