This is a talk that was recorded as an introduction to a meditation practice. The talk is meant to bring the meditators to a place where they can notice what is arising while they are focusing on their meditation object (the breath). When in meditaton, we are watching the breath as well as the movement of the mind. In doing so, we are to recognize the mind states, particulerly any negativity arising. In this talk, we are learning what to do with this negativity through investigation. In this investigation, we find that we are the one watching; we are the investigator of the mind. We can then begin to lose the identification and clinging to the negative states by no longer identifying with them as being ours. All of this is being done behind the activity of breath meditation.
