The insights on metta were very valuable to me. I always felt goenkas instruction for metta was to first feel a good sensation and only then are you fit to give metta. But i have been in the middle of a panic attack, and somehow it arose in me to give metta to all people who suffer panic attacks.. And that then helped me with my own panic attack and transformed it. If i had to wait till i have only pleasant sensations before i gave metta, it would never happen. And I really enjoy metta meditation. It has been one of the most valuable meditations for me in my practice
I feel lucky that i have found meditation in 2016 and great meditation teachers locally in the city and virtually like Beth. 💛🪷🌞☸️ @@sit-heads I practice every day.
Extremely odd for Beth to think that physical sensations can't take one into jhana. All phenomena are arising and passing, wouldn't be unique to physical sensations, nor does there need to be stability in that sense for there to be jhana as there are people doing vipassana jhanas.

You do have to wonder what wrong was done to the gentleman toward the end of the talk. The Falkland war perhaps😑
Really felt for him.
