Beth Upton - Second Interview + Q&A [Sit-Heads Meditation Club]

[@onelove7069]

The insights on metta were very valuable to me. I always felt goenkas instruction for metta was to first feel a good sensation and only then are you fit to give metta. But i have been in the middle of a panic attack, and somehow it arose in me to give metta to all people who suffer panic attacks.. And that then helped me with my own panic attack and transformed it. If i had to wait till i have only pleasant sensations before i gave metta, it would never happen. And I really enjoy metta meditation. It has been one of the most valuable meditations for me in my practice

You do have to wonder what wrong was done to the gentleman toward the end of the talk. The Falkland war perhaps😑 Really felt for him.

Extremely odd for Beth to think that physical sensations can't take one into jhana. All phenomena are arising and passing, wouldn't be unique to physical sensations, nor does there need to be stability in that sense for there to be jhana as there are people doing vipassana jhanas.

She’s talking about a much higher jhana standard from the visuddimaga. The jhana states you’re describing that are entered through piti in her system would be aspects of access concentration
