Buddhist Practice: Dealing with Intrusive Thoughts and Emotions
Episode 70
Published 8 years ago
Description
"Intrusive" thoughts and emotions arise repeatedly with enough intensity for them to be disturbing or distracting, even though they aren't objectively relevant or helpful as they're arising. In this episode I describe how to use Buddhist practice to reduce the intrusiveness of irrelevant or unhelpful thoughts and emotions by decreasing our identification with the content of our experience and increasing our identification with our natural, spacious awareness.
