This is a very helpful Q&A where Āloka describes how we can use thinking, pondering and meditation as insight practices. I found this very useful, particularly for the guidance on pondering, where we can try and practice contemplation in a still environment. For me, the pull of needing to be busy is very strong and it is really challenging to sit and do nothing, other that look at myself…avoidance is easier. We therefore have a toolkit that we can carry and use in all circumstances, that takes us into ourselves, helps us investigate our delusion, and ultimately reveals our true humanness and potential.
