-
we'll have judgments, you know, endlessly
-
because we've got ideas and opinions about everything
-
likes and dislikes
-
but what awareness does is, it doesn't say, okay, no judging
-
that's not what mindfullness is about
-
it's about welcoming the judging and holding that in awareness and
-
seeing how caught up we are, in our own likes and dislikes
-
how driven we are, by that kind of
-
impulse to clinging and to grasp and to self-identify, or
-
if you don't like it, if it's aversive, push it away, I hate this, I don't want this
-
this is frightening
-
and then who suffers? who suffers from that?
-
We suffer, we suffer if we cling, we suffer if we recoil
-
so, if this is about liberation from suffering
-
the only thing that can actually liberate us from our own delusion and our own craziness
-
and our own fear ,and our own lack of comfort in our own skin,
-
is this essence of being, that is already okay
-
it's not like the people who come to our clinic with cancer and heart disease and chronic pain and everything
-
they have all these major diseases and disorders
-
but we're not trying to take it away from them or fix it,
-
we're inviting them to put out the welcome mat for the full dimensionality of their experience,
-
befriend how it is in the body
-
even if that's the last place you wanna go
-
to turn towards the intensity of the pain in the body or in the heart
-
and to embrace it.
-
and when you do that, things shift
-
and very often the very body as well as the brain, and as well as the bones, as well as the skin
-
has its ear to the rail and
-
it starts to shift because we're one unified biological whole
-
we're an organism
-
and so when we align in a certain way with mindfulness
-
there's a way in which the physiology follows
-
now studies are coming out now that are showing that in eight weeks of training with MBSR
-
we have morphological changes
-
in all sort of brain regions
-
not just activity changes in the prefrontal cortex,
-
but actually morphological thickening in regions of the hippocampus
-
which is involved in learning and memory and also various other regions of the brain
-
that altogether actually collaborate
-
in allowing us to navigate our life and make wise, discerning decisions
-
about what's valuable, what's not valuable
-
what's gonna cause more pain, what's gonna cause more suffering, what's gonna cause greater happiness
-
and then to navigate that kind of way
-
so the research is pointing very much in that direction
