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 

*A General Theory of Love (Thomas et al), Love 2.0 (Frederickson), Affect Regulation (Schore), Emotion Focused Therapy (Greenberg), Affect Regulation, Mentalization, and the Development of the Self (Fonagy).

Some reflections on how white privilege, myself very much included, can lead to simplistic presentations of the dharma.—Josh

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.
