COURSE

The Triangle Of Mindful Awareness

With Lama Yeshe Rabgye

Awareness is about sustaining a moment-by-moment focus of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. This is achieved by paying attention to whatever is occurring in the present moment in a compassionate and supportive way. Not trying to add or take anything away, just experiencing whatever is happening, be it good or not so good. It is impossible to remain fully aware 24/7, so we need to learn skills that allow us to keep returning to the here and now. This course will give you those skills. Each session you will learn new practices to add to your awareness toolbox, such as helping you deal with strong emotions, body sensations and thoughts. Being fully aware will help you reduce worry, stress, and anxiety. It will also help you be less reactive and more responsive and strengthen your emotional and psychological wellbeing.


Meet your Teacher

Yeshe Rabgye is a Buddhist Monk from England. He teaches Mindfulness, Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and Sound Therapy in various countries around the world. He studied Buddhist Philosophy and meditation in a monastery in Nepal. Although he learned from the great Tibetan Buddhist masters, his Western background forced him to question some difficult elements of the teachings, in particular, to distinguish those teachings that were essential aspects of the path from those that were mere cultural embellishments. He spent several years in a monastery in the foothills of the Himalayas teaching young monks basic Buddhist philosophy and meditation. He now offers teachings freely to all in a manner that is unpretentious and clear. He does not demand students to blindly accept what he says, but instead invites them to examine their own minds and experiences to discover the validity of Gautama Buddha’s teachings. Using everyday examples, he has the ability to bring the teachings alive, particularly to a younger audience seeking to make Buddhism relevant in their lives. His approachable manner has attracted many students who appreciate his sense of humour and practical advice.

Lesson 1

What is Mindful Awareness?

I am sure we have all experienced our mind suddenly wandering off to the past or leaping forward to the future. Usually at the most inopportune moments. So, how do we go about reining the mind in? Mindful awareness is the answer, it is a great way of helping us bring the mind back under our control. A mind left to wander can be a disruptive and destructive thing. In this session, we will learn the importance of mindful awareness and various daily practices.

Lesson 2

Thoughts Are Just Thoughts

We spend most of our day like a ping pong ball, bouncing from one thought to the other. If we are not careful, it can put us in the fight or flight mode, or at the very least, it makes us stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. We need to change our relationship with our thoughts. In this session we will learn that thoughts are just a process of the brain and they have no power until we give them power. We will also learn several techniques to bring awareness to our thought process.

Lesson 3

Emotions Are Our Teachers

We usually try to fight our strong emotions, suppress them or get totally tangled up in them. None of these are going to be helpful. The more we fight against the emotion, the stronger it becomes. Acting this way, we will eventually make the emotion into our enemy. But emotions are not our enemies, they are our teachers. In this session we learn different ways to help us deal with emotions. This will help you find your triggers and find the reason why the emotion arose.

Feel The Body With The Body

Mindfulness of body is a practice that involves being aware of the present moment, while paying close attention to the sensations and movements of the body. It is a way to bring the body and mind into unison and to gain greater control over our thoughts and emotions.

In this session you will gain a full understanding of how you can bring your awareness to the body.

Some great content here, but I feel it would have been better if we’d actually had an opportunity to try the techniques discussed, rather than just hearing them described.

Great content but it felt a bit rushed. These could have been 30 minute sessions with more time to use the tools. 10-15 seconds is barely enough time for more than two breaths.

As usual, you invite me to explore things I might have missed. And instead, with your gentle guidance, i feel invited to be curious about these ideas and practises. Thank you. You were a very great help to me teaching me how to downsize pain and I now treasure your insights.

Excellent teaching, thank you! I appreciate the different techniques offered - I listened to each session multiple times to better integrate and understand the different practices. The “thought diffusion” (or de-fusion?) practice has been especially helpful for me. Thank you! 🙏

This is probably the most practical course I have ever followed on Insight Timer. Each episode is full of resources and inspiration for building concrete healthy habits which aim to connect oneself more to the present moment. I will definitely refer to these audios for as long as it takes to integrate them in my daily routines. I feel very grateful for this gift. Namaste!
