Joseph Goldstein on Opening to Fear - Insight Hour Ep. 166

[@Lightlysaltedpotato]

My life improved drastically when I discovered recorded lessons by Joseph Goldstein. His tone, humor, clear and simple teachings and light inspire me and help me learn more easily. Nothing and no one could have taught me the subject of mindfulness better. Thank you Joseph for all your gifts and wisdom. Hope to be in one of your retreats one day soon

Thank you Joseph for giving us the knowledge of the Buddha. I love the logic behind these teachings - they really are extremely profound and just absolutely timeless. I wish that all beings could be exposed to and understand the wisdom behind these concepts. Much love for you Joseph.

This was truly amazing to listen to. Heard this on Sam Harris's Waking Up app and I literally woke up the next morning feeling different.

Except that pain is real! It’s our Body’s way of something is wrong! I thought I got it but maybe I didn’t!

[@aaronl3460]

That's true, pain is real, but like Joseph said, it's also inevitable. However, with a meditative attitude (softening & opening) incidents of pain such as injuries allow the opportunity to explore the psychological suffering and fear that come along with these inevitable physical sensations, which are much more workable and can be transformed.

It's like having my very own wise, Jewish friend. Thanks!
