1
00:00:01,499 --> 00:00:06,026
Instead of noting my heart pounding panic as feeling, I note it as hearing.

2
00:00:06,207 --> 00:00:06,928
It seems to help.

3
00:00:06,968 --> 00:00:07,509
What do you think?

4
00:00:08,270 --> 00:00:09,973
Because I can seem to hear my heart pounding.

5
00:00:11,956 --> 00:00:17,305
Yeah, just be careful you're not too keen on it seems to help part, because you can get excited about it.

6
00:00:17,445 --> 00:00:22,073
And then you think, OK, well, every time I say hearing, hearing, it's going to work.

7
00:00:22,795 --> 00:00:25,118
There's no trick to enlightenment.

8
00:00:25,138 --> 00:00:27,340
You have to deal with every moment appropriately.

9
00:00:28,201 --> 00:00:32,907
And there's no single appropriateness, except mindfulness.

10
00:00:32,987 --> 00:00:34,649
But it's such a slippery thing.

11
00:00:34,849 --> 00:00:39,514
Hearing, hearing is not going to answer all of your problems.

12
00:00:39,554 --> 00:00:43,519
And it's not going to even answer that problem every time, because the problems change.

13
00:00:43,579 --> 00:00:46,322
And there's many things involved with them.

14
00:00:47,163 --> 00:00:52,148
Maybe next time it's going to be the feeling that will be most distinct.

15
00:00:52,849 --> 00:00:53,810
And so that's really the answer.

16
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:56,193
Whatever is most distinct, acknowledge that.

17
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:57,754
If it's hearing, then acknowledge hearing.

18
00:00:57,794 --> 00:01:00,137
It doesn't matter what someone tells you to do.

19
00:01:00,197 --> 00:01:02,339
It matters what you're experiencing.

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,226
So if I've told you before to acknowledge feeling, feeling, that's only if the feeling is most distinct.

21
00:01:08,846 --> 00:01:14,993
Whatever is most distinct, focus on that and remind yourself clearly of it as it is.
