Ajahn Hasapanna conducts an intermediate/ advanced meditation class for approximately one hour. Ajahn Hasapanna speaks about how trying hard to speculate on the cause of our emotional reactions reinforces overthinking, and recommends instead to just continue practicing, which will naturally lead to clarity and understanding. Ajahn also speaks on present moment awareness and how it can be appropriate sometimes to re-adjust by choosing a coarser meditation object.
