John Kinyon, leads participants through two Observation Exercises to strengthen their ability to be present. Through the exercises, John distinguishes the difference between feelings, which are emotions felt inside the body, and observations which are witness to our experience. John further discusses why it is our thinking that causes our suffering rather than the external experience.

- Observation Exercise 2 offers you the practice of being the witness, observing your inner thoughts to develop clarity and connection with self, developing your inner observational skills.
