Exploring the third foundation of mindfulness, including emotions and cognitive activities

In progressing through the four foundations, we come to my mindfulness of mind (citta). This includes emotions and cognitive states.

Once we stabilize our attention within the flow of present time experiences, we can investigate certain truths such as pleasant and pain and the prevasive

Starting where it is easy to feel an open heart. we can spread a loving awareness to many beings, including this one being of oneself

By intentionally moving our attention from our primary location of meditation( breath, body or sound) we can begin to explore the direct relationship between pain and our own aversion

In each moment of our lives we have the possibility to awaken or suffer.
