In this session, we discuss how thoughts can quickly lead to overwhelm, anxiety, and suffering—particularly when we react to those thoughts with aversion rather than curiosity, awareness, and equanimity. We end the session with the practice of 'box breathing' in combination with the Vipassana-based non-judgemental observation of the body and the breath as a way to regulate. This track is taken from my course, ‘The Path Within: Lessons From A 10-Day Vipassana Retreat’, available now via my profile.
