fascinating

There are mystical, paranormal experiences that happen within these cycles. The existential and emotional experience of these stages, especially first time, is strangely very sad, yet contain great compensations. 'Intolerable is thine ache, and incurable thy wound. Behold where thine Angel hath led thee! Thou DIDST ask fame, power and pleasure, health and wealth and love, and strength, and length of days. Thou didst hold life with eight tentacles, like an octopus. The mystery thereof is great and terrible. And it shall not be spoken in sight of the sun' - (Ungratefully in sight of that which enabled all life's desires and so too this, life's universal and one way lesson).

So where can we come and meditate with you?

Your explanation is vivid and clear. All from Abhidhamma

wow! this is just what i needed to hear

Thank you, Goddess of Dharma, I was caught in the obstacle of doubt about whether to feel the breath at the nostrils or not, but you have given me further confirmation that it doesn't matter where you feel the breath (the important thing is to feel it)! Ajahn Brahm also advises the same. 🙏

Thank you, Beth! This has been my struggle. :) When I practice at home, I get tense and uncertain, because deep down I'm afraid I won't get anywhere with only 2-3 hours a day for practice. When I was at a short retreat, I was able to relax and it really did turn out that I didn't need to be precise and perfectly efficient to see progress.

Wonderful explanation. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu

This is the problem i have with Vipassana, a-la "Goenka style", having reacquainted myself recently via a few "1 day old student" sittings. the whole process seems deeply problematic intellectually (the infinite possibilities of division of "parts of the body") and ultimately just far more complex than what i would think valuable as an object of meditation, be that in pursuit of an awareness of "anicca" or otherwise ... (after all, if all conditioned things are impermanent, why single out anything specific for attention?) so thanks for this. it makes me feel a bit less concerned about my inability to get in touch with you, to have this particular discussion at least ... 🙂

Kalapas nimitta light etc never in the Sutta. Everything is from Abhidhamma. I don't know whether it can be practiced or not. For example in my 30 years practice never found Nimitta. If I imagthen I can see one. However your video is clear

Could you please make a video comenting the Mahasi mental noting technique?

I just came out of a meditation and opened up this KZbin clip and it was exactly about the issues I had with my session! Thank You Beth! 🙏

can i come and meditate with you?

The real value in practicing meditation is in observing yourself suffering. Not in learning how to relax.

Patience, faith, and curiosity

I would be embarrassed to say how long it took me hearing this type of advice before I finally relaxed into my meditation, turned off the timers and just enjoyed the ride without trying to achieve something.

Kindly make play list for new video. No playlist is displayed

Is there any charges for one on one teachings?

Could you please tell about your teacher and methods. You speak ftom Abhidhamma. Could you please tell sbout your teachers

Wonderful, thank you! 💛☸️

There is no "direct knowledge" of past lives. Any so called memory of past lives is simply brain activity. Vipassana has nothing to do with past lives.

Are there any metaphysical insights at this level of attainment? Is time and space real, or some kind of illusion as the advaitan's say?

Yesterday was a past life.

Hi can’t find the link to get in touch can you help me please

The non self thing is really trippy and wild. It's literally just karmic propensities, cause and effect, barrelling into each other. Nuts.

Pls type gogle ,, children memories of previous live,, . Karma is steering this proces.

Fear of Past events Fear of New experience Fear of Letting go Bhaya nana - knowledge of fear in vipassana

This was one of the best “tip” videos ever. I want to try this.

Timing meditation can be useful for shorter practices as a beginner. Let's say your teacher has recommded 10 mins twice a day. If it's going well you might be tempted to sit for longer, and if it's difficult you might be tempted to give up sooner x x

Where do you teach?

Thank you.

Thank you 🙏❤

Loved the far and near enemy of each brahmaviharas...

Thank you for your video! I didn't know about you, KZbin suggested one of your video and it just happened to be the right subject for me at this moment. I experience fear yesterday while meditating. It's not the first time. It's when I feel the body sensation leave my consciousness, I get scared and stop the process. I know it's fear but each time, I open my eyes and stop whatever was happening. I hope next time, I can just stay there and not stop the process...

Hello Beth, what are your thoughts on God? is your teaching compatible with God?

Where is this?

Thank you!

🙏

Ayya Ahimsa (who has been an important teacher for me) speaks highly of your wisdom and suggested I seek out your videos. And she is right; my meditation practice has become more joyful and meaningful within a few months of taking your insights to the cushion. Please allow me to express my deepest gratitude to you both.

🙏🙏🙏

Nibbana is the lost of all the thoughts. We do get several thoughts and generating of thoughts cannot be stopped. But we should see that the thought that is generated is getting lost instantly after generating it. If we are able to see like that, that is Nibbana where there is no any suffering or sacrifice and further there is no any saddness as there is no any reincarnation.

Hello Beth! I really admire your work! I haven't been able to meditate consistently since I started about 5 years ago. A person I think you would be interested in and who shares your interest of the boundaries of mind and matter is Bernardo Kastrup, the wellknown physiscist and philosopher and founder of analytical Idealism. 🌿

Hi there tonight I experienced a small bright white dot my room was in darkness this was on the right side do you have any information on what this represents I am struggling to find info online 😊

Excellent video Beth and perfectly timed as I am just about to go for a guest stay at a monastery, and was wondering how I was going to time my meditation sessions there without a phone :-D

hello i just sent an email with my contact, i reached stream entry 3 weeks ago and would love some insight and wisdom

You are beautiful 😊

❤thank you 🙏

Wow, thank you 🙏 Very practical and important advice.

I've enjoyed your videos! They are very helpful, and I feel you are a wonderful teacher. I had a thought about this subject the other day, that I wanted to share. Basically, that attention is much easier to sustain on an object of true interest and curiosity,

Maybe a silly question, but...how do I know when to stop?!?
