Quotes by Rob Preece (?)

“Resting in body sensation with bare awareness free of discursive mental conceptions enables us to stop interfering mentally with our experience: giving things labels and in some subtle way evaluating our feelings. We gradually develop the facility to witness the arising and passing of feelings and emotions without contracting into them or pushing them away. Gaining this equanimity in relation to the arising of feelings means we do not get sticky around them and can let them unravel in the space of awareness, accepting whatever feelings arise.”

“There were many of us who believed relationships, in particular, were something to be avoided because this kind of contact would lead to all manner of feelings that were disturbing and would be a distraction to our practice of the dharma. It was a great source of amusement that while we tried to live relatively celibate lives, we had in the building one room with a double bed where couples could go to have “contact with the object.” I cannot imagine what we were thinking.”

“we can see how the deepening experience of present awareness will help us relate to the spectrum of feelings. With this awareness we can for the first time potentially disidentify from the strength of emotions as they arise. This means we are able to witness stronger emotions and retain a clear sense of self rather than becoming submerged in the emotion. This is the basis of mindfulness, a practice now being used within the therapeutic world that is increasingly valuable in helping people to gain this witnessing of emotions rather than being lost in them. This has become especially valuable for people suffering painful feelings of despair and depression.”
