Episode 172: Depression is a Gateway

January 2, 2017

Here, Reggie shows how depression can be a powerful force of transformation. He says that when we let go of thoughts and judgments, and take the energy of depression as an object of mindfulness, it can liberate us from the reference points that cause us to suffer.

These selections are from the 2008 Winter Dathün retreat and the Meditating with the Body Core Curriculum.
