Pain & The Present Moment - Joseph Goldstein's Insight Hour Ep. 114

Joseph Goldstein explores what pain is, the ways we’ve been conditioned to respond to it, and how we can simply and softly settle back into whatever the present moment offers us.  This dharma talk was given at the Insight Meditation Society in 1983 and originally published on Dharma Seed Show Notes The Three Types of Pain Joseph begins by distinguishing the three different types of pain that people experience. He talks about the mind’s response to feelings of pain, and how these responses aren’t really helpful. Joseph explores the key elements to working with pain, including looking directly at pain in a balanced way, and being mindful of the attitude we have towards these intense sensations. “Most of us, until we’ve really learned to explore and investigate the nature of pain, most of us are afraid of it. We’re afraid of feeling pain, we’re afraid of feeling discomfort.” – Joseph Goldstein Pain and the Present Moment (19:35) Joseph reflects on the mirror-like quality of mind that is necessary for simply and softly being in the present moment. He talks about how our minds have been conditioned to respond to pain with resistance and avoidance. Joseph shares how we can relax into unpleasant situations, how fear and desire feed into one another, and why having a sense of humor is so important.  “So learning how to be present, learning how to open to the whole range of experience, is what allows us to come to a totality of ourselves, to understand the nature of what our mind is about, what our body is about, what our experience is about.” – Joseph Goldstein ================ Pain & The Present Moment - Joseph Goldstein's Insight Hour Ep. 114:    • Pain & The Present Moment - Joseph Goldste...   Joseph Goldstein – Insight Hour – Ep. 114 – Pain and the Present Moment: https://beherenownetwork.com/joseph-g... ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
