Using a variety of insights* I propose a definition of Love, why it has efficacy, and how to create some of the benefits of love during meditation, using traditional Buddha's Metta practice. — Josh

Creating & Experiencing a Felt Shift in Life (Focusing in Meditation)

This talk explores how focusing, a method of insight developed by the late psychiatrist Eugene Gendlin—especially when used as a meditation practice similar to the Buddha's Vedananusati, or awareness of feelings—can create an important shift in the way we somatically process experience, which in turn can lead to real behavioral change. NOTE: During the same week I gave this talk Tricycle Magazine appeared with an excellent article on the same subject by David Rome.
It can be found here: article on focusing
