Description:
Inquiry, or investigation, is one of the seven factors of awakening, a quality that both leads to and expresses awakening. Inquiry can be a crucial factor in our practice, leading to greater aliveness, energy, interest, and wisdom, yet we may still believe that meditation should be about “not thinking.” In practice, we just initially need to not be ruled by thinking—which makes it possible to then use thinking and questioning fruitfully in the process of inquiry.
We’ll explore five modes of inquiry:
(1) bringing inquiry into our mindfulness practice in several ways
(2) listening deeply, particularly through the body and emotions, when there are repetitive thoughts and narratives, as well as difficult experiences
(3) using a core teaching to guide one’s practice
(4) radical questioning
(5) uncovering and transforming limiting beliefs
The day will combine short talks, guided inquiry practices, and discussion.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
