Shinzen shares that "it is extremely important that objective behaviour change be included in the stated goals of the meditative path". He then shares how behaviours are controlled by the "carrot and the stick" sensory events. and gives examples of how we can work with this, including using an "external accountability structure" when necessary. Shinzen shares a couple examples from his own life. Filmed in Nov. 2009 at Mt. Carmel Spiritual Centre in Niagara Falls.

  • You're a brave and honest man, Shinzen - thank you.

  • My question is how in the world a psychiatrist can help with procrastination

  • Great how he is so honest about meditation and how it helped him give up marijuana so many decades ago. I'd say one needs to be at least past the beginning stages of meditation to understand what he is talking about, &/or one needs to be familiar with his methods (other vids, his website) & work with them to really “get it.”

    He says:

    “One of my habits, which was a pretty deep one--a 10 year marijuana abuse situation--literally evaporated ... as the result of applying a mindfulness technique.”

  • Yes,as others has observed, Shizen's honesty is refreshing. Thanks for posting the videos!

  • The honesty in this post is most refreshing. Thank you!

  • Love it! First you give a shot at changing behavior through meditation. If that's not sufficient, then get outside help additionally. He did!

  • Another reason why I'm fond of Shinzen's teaching style: tell it like it is, no pedestals. ;)
