Mastering Meditation: Noah Levine on Concentration and Mindfulness

Concentration can bring temporary relief to the human experience, but when we are no longer concentrating how do we find freedom?
Ever wondered how concentration differs from mindfulness in meditation? In this episode of 'Against The Stream', Noah Levine dives into this very topic. As the founder of Against the Stream, Refuge Recovery, and Dharma Punx, Noah brings a wealth of experience and insight into the practice of meditation. He opens up about his personal journey with concentration, explaining how it can provide temporary relief but isn't the full answer to achieving liberation.
Instead, he argues that a blend of concentration and mindfulness is key to truly transforming one's life. Noah also explores the Buddha's teachings on the four foundations and heart practices, highlighting how concentration can sometimes create mental habits that distract from addressing the root causes of suffering. Yet, it's a vital part of meditation that helps us see reality clearly and respond wisely.
Tune in for practical tips on transitioning from concentration to mindfulness and an engaging discussion on the eightfold path. Whether you're new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this episode offers valuable insights and guidance.
