Upaya Dharma Podcasts - Mindsight: The Psychology and Neuroscience of Awareness (Pts 7-9 of 9)

Here are the final three installments of the series, which has been phenomenal.

Mindsight: The Psychology and Neuroscience of Awareness (Pt 7 of 9)

Speakers: Roshi Joan Halifax & Dan Siegel
Recorded: Saturday Jul 10, 2010

Roshi Joan talks about the concept of mindfulness in the Buddhist context. She says that mindfulness or focused attention is not enough, you also need “mindsight” or insight in wisdom. She asks that as we secularize things, how do we not exclude dimensions that have been found in the wisdom traditions and have profound value. Dan explains the next 2 Domains of Integration, which are memory and narrative integration.
