Alan Wallace Fall 2012 Retreat Podcast: Vipashyana, Four Applications Of Mindfulness

It's important to settle the motivation for the day. In Mahayana teachings the motivation is the base of bodhicitta. It's important to have cognitive balance, which brings intelligence to our desires and aspirations. Relaxation, stability and clarity are crucial for meditation. First melt away the body and then allow the breath to flow naturally. Trust in the healing capacity of our own body. If you get tired when meditating, focus on relaxation without loosing stability. Meditation starts at 14:55
