What does it feel like when the mind is overcome by craving and clinging? How about when it is free? When the defilements of craving and clinging are present, we feel it in the body. We feel ourselves being pulled around and controlled by it. We become bound, fettered, and chained to it. But when the mind is free of defilements, we experience more freedom. There is more spaciousness, peacefulness, contentedness, and ease. What a difference! And, as MOI teacher Mark Wiesman states in this talk, mindfulness is the key. We are encouraged by Mark to notice those moments when we are craving and clinging, as well as the moments when we let go and accept things as they are. “Be curious,” he says. “Ask lots of questions. It will lead to more mindfulness and understanding.”
