Guiding us in three short, guided meditations, Joseph Goldstein helps us break down our identification with the body and the self.

This talk from the Insight Meditation Society was originally published on Dharmaseed.

In this episode of Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein guides us in:

Accessing deeper meditative states outside of a retreat
Turbo-charging our practice through shorter meditations we can do in our daily lives
Finding the mental areas where our mistaken sense of self is created
Listening to sounds and considering the ‘knowing’ rather than being a “knower”
Breaking through the identification we have with the body
Directly experiencing bodily sensations and their changing nature
Watching our thoughts and being aware in their moment of arising
Enlivening our understanding of the Buddha’s teaching through a combination of practices

“This exercise allows us to see the selfless nature of thought and gives us the ability to choose which are helpful, which are not. Which do I act on, which do I let go of.” – Joseph Goldstein
