| USA Maui Retreat 2016 11/16 Opening Instructions (29:40-30:39)
When we fall asleep while sitting meditation, we can be sure that the mind wasn’t very interested in what it was watching, right?
The purpose of awareness is to discover. And when we discover something, it becomes more interesting; so then we want to keep observing.
When we’re being aware, if behind our awareness there is a healthy interest in understanding the mind and the body then that will feed the motivation to be mindful quite naturally.
