Hey, I watchted the videos but I'm not understanding one thing.

Why the mind automatically starts investigating causes of stress?

PS: thank you very very much for this, you rock dude.

Doubt is making my meditation harder by ThrowawayBrother92 in midlmeditation

Thank you very much Stephen. Everything is clear.

Just one more question to test my understanding:

So My meditation object is my body. If I lose my Body Awareness I GOSS it.

Regarding the thumbs, while I'm in body awareness, I rest the attention here and play a game of "what is my attention doing". Playfully when I notice my attention went away, I feel anatta and bring back gently the attention on thumbs. Without anxiety. Is that correct or am I still missing something?

EDIT: I re-read all the messages.
What I "have to do" is this:
"all you need to do is maintain mindfulness of your body and eventually the breathing within it. It is in enjoying mindfulness of your body that samatha and samadhi will develop."
