About this episode
Noah Levine discusses the Buddhist concept of feeling tone and its impact on mindfulness and perception.
Most of our experience is being filtered through a simple reaction: pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. The Buddhist teachings on vedanā, feeling tone, point to how the mind perceives each moment and how quickly craving and aversion follow. Mindfulness begins with seeing clearly not just what’s happening, but how we’re relating to it. What are some of the things you find unpleasant?
