B. Alan Wallace, 22 Apr 2010

This morning we practiced a slightly different method Awareness of Awareness, or Shamatha without a sign.
After the meditation, there is a short section on insomnia and anxiety that can arise when in retreat. It is mostly focused on our situation here in Phuket but I included it because it can be relevant to many around the world, especially if you are doing retreat with us! May it serve you well!

By the way, the podcast picture for this episode is part of a Thangka called “The Nine Progressive Stages of Mental Development” (or other names). Google it along with its explanation, it’s very inspiring! You can view the Thangka full size at the podcast website.
