    Why would you put ads in the middle of a meditation? Crazy!

    • @MBS101
      @MBS101 5 місяців тому

      yeah, that's YT, not me. Not my choice, sadly. I think they want people to pay for premium with no ads. That said, it's true that any experience that comes up in meditation (or otherwise) can be a valuable mindfulness practice in itself. The jarring interruption happens, and you can simply be aware of the thoughts and emotions that come up as a reaction to that (frustration, annoyance, etc.). Anyway, thanks for being here!

    I think you should acknowledge Dr. Russ Harris, who has offered the leaves on a stream exercise since 2012. This is a copy practically accurate right to the time stamps. i’m not talking down to you, I think he should get partial credit

    • @MBS101
      @MBS101 5 місяців тому

      Thanks for being here Kyle. Did you see the acknowledgement in the Description? Yes, I'm a big fan of Russ Harris's work. I can't speak to what you said about time stamps; this is an adaptation that draws from Russ Harris, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, and others.

    Thank you, this is so far best meditation session for observing thoughts that I have run into. My mind always kept telling me to get away from thoughts when I did "leaves on stream" practice and I got frustrated about that. Now I can place thought top and on a leaf and let it be! No need to force the stream to take it away, just curiously observing it, not labeling them as a "bad" or "good".
