MIDL Talk 3: Understanding the Mental Factors

A series of talks on MIDL Mindfulness training given by Stephen Procter explaining how to develop your meditation practice.

Mindfulness Meditation in Daily Life (MIDL) practice is designed to be brought into your everyday life. When practicing this style of Mindfulness Meditation there is no difference between sitting in formal seated meditation and your everyday activities. Systematic training during seated meditation is used to develop Investigation, Mindfulness and Concentration to a refined level so that the Mindfulness meditation practice transfers into everyday activites. This is a Soft path, it is the path of Softening Into, accepting whatever your are experiencing. It is a practice that leads to deep, unconditional peace that is not dependant on life situation or circumstances.

Reviews

Nice overview. I appreciate how well organized these presentations are. A detractor is using a translated word, Sati, and breaking down its translation, mindfulness, in terms that are used in the English language. My experience with translation suggests such direct correlations do not exist.

The explanation of the meditation process and value of focused attention vs. open awareness was one of the best I’ve ever heard. This talk has value on my path. Well done and thank you.

The analogies really helped in my understanding. Always grateful for your teachings and meditations.

This series of talks is so useful and clarifying. Thanks!

Thank you. Lots of info to absorb. I will listen to this again. I was falling asleep b/c your voice is so soothing 🙏💕

Very informative! Thank you!
