(00:00) The Nature of Struggle

(25:00) Working with Restlessness and Boredom

(39:15) Questions about Struggle

“Instead of struggling with the restlessness, see if it’s possible, in the same way we work with pain, to relax into it, to open, to investigate exactly what the nature of restlessness is. Because, like pain, restlessness is an abstraction for more specific experiences. Can you pinpoint, or can you dissect, this combination of experiences which we call restlessness?” – Joseph Goldstein
