About this episode

Noah Levine discusses the importance of turning toward thoughts and emotions with awareness rather than avoidance.

Most of us spend a lot of time either ignoring the mind or believing every thought it produces. The practice is to turn toward thoughts, emotions, craving, and fear with awareness instead of avoidance. When attention becomes steady enough, we begin to see the mind clearly rather than reacting to it automatically.
