Episode 233: Form Holds Freedom – Part I

September 28, 2018

In the first part of this talk on container principle, Reggie says that mindfulness meditation is often used as a technique to try to stabilize the ego by creating a sense of control, perfectionism, and safety. True meditation holds and protects the raw, rugged, messy unfolding of the totality within us.

This talk was given in 2016 at the November Meditating with the Body retreat held at Buckfast Abbey in Devon, England. To register for the upcoming Winter Meditation Intensive, please visit our programs calendar.
