3 INSIGHTS
I.
Mindfulness unwinds our identification with our thoughts, feelings, and patterns. You realize that you are not the thinker or feeler but the one who is aware of thoughts and feelings.
II.
Meditation turns our subjective experiences into objects of observation.
III.
Once the 'subjective' becomes 'objective,' we can examine it.
We can watch our patterns and triggers, zoom in, and see how thoughts produce our feelings and sensations. We can learn from our suffering and transform it.
