	Description:		Joseph Goldstein responds to questions on spiritual craving, mental focus, and what it truly means to become aware of awareness. This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein mindfully explains: Bringing your daily life into your spiritual practice Mindfulness of seeing: focusing on the seeing itself rather than on what we are looking at Resting in open, non-reactive spaciousness The cognizing power of emptiness and realizing that there is nothing to know Keeping the mind steady and how concentration deepens insight Understanding both relative and ultimate reality Defining dukkha as the inevitability of unwanted experiences How to not waste suffering: taking an interest in the shadows of our own minds Having agency over our own minds during difficult experiences Mindfulness of anger and other negative emotions *This episode was originally published on* *Dharmaseed* “How do I become aware of awareness? Where is it? How can I put my finger on it? When we realize that there’s nothing to find, and yet the knowing is happening, then we relax back into the mystery of consciousness, and you’re very aware of the capacity of the mind to know.” –Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
