Mark Coleman - Working with the Inner Critic

http://squaw.wanderlustfestival.com/files/imagecache/570/markcoleman.jpg

Dharma Seed has a two-part talk by Mark Coleman on working with our inner critic. I find this to be one of the most challenging areas to work with because the critic is so ingrained from such a young period in our lives. Often it is the voice of a parent, so it's wrapped up in other parts of our psyche, making it even harder to uproot.

The Buddhist approach to this part is different than the Western psychological approach, but it's also a good way in to the work.

This talk explores the origins and negative impacts of the judging mind and how to practically understand and use effective procedures based in mindfulness, metta, and inquiry.
