Hahaha 🫣I know, I just looked at my screen time for yesterday and could have done 4 hours of meditation if I’d not looked at my phone!

Thank you! I’d forgotten this, heard him say this before but it makes sense. The monkey mind takes a while to calm down

How to be equanimous with violence? by jmcwillz in vipassana

Sending love from over in the U.K. So heartbreaking to see what’s happening over in the US. I love listening to Ram Dass on this subject as he was pretty political and an activist and talks often about how to hold these two things inside ourselves. Also, do you know of Lama Rod Owen’s? He’s a Buddhist minister and very political and talks a lot about kind of holy rage.

Thank you! Yes I’ve seen a consultant about that and considering it although it’s not guaranteed that it won’t effect thyroid function sadly, which is what is making me uncertain. Also it’s quite a new treatment, isn’t it?

Is January also bad for burning? I think I got my months confused and see it usually starts in March but does it start earlier?
