It will want to help by suppressing negativity or by trying desperately to analyse and solve whatever is troubling you. Working with the mind in this context is just too difficult. Focusing on the body, by contrast, creates a little space between you and the...2021-02-0819 minThe Art of Living - Ross BrittletonS1 Ep 5 Sounds, Sensations, Thoughts & FeelingsS1 Ep 5 In this podcast I’ll be introducing a sounds, sensations, thoughts and feelings awareness session for you to add to your mindfulness and awareness practice.
