In modern life, we often live in our head, absorbed in thinking, planning, or evaluating. The conceptual mind easily gets out of touch with the rhythms of the body, the heart, the natural world. We may think the remedy is to disregard or “transcend” the thinking mind, but the Early Buddhist teachings offer a more nuanced and realistic view. This session examines the process of integrating head, heart, and body through meditation and contemplation, leading to liberation. As practice matures, a new kind of “Dharma intelligence” emerges that draws upon the deeper wellsprings of heart and mind.
