Q1 If I remember it well citta follows moving, shifting energy. How can we feel moving energy? Is it the feeling of the breath or sound? What is non-moving energy?
08:37 Q2 what's the difference between virya, translated as energy, and citta energy?
12:12 Q3 You don't seem to use the word awareness which is often used to denote the knowing of something. Is there a connection between the felt energy and awareness?
28:28 Q4 How do you reconcile the fire of an animated heart with Buddhism's perfume of disengagement and dispassion?
32:36 Q5 how can sensation and the sequence that leads to it be described in a subtle energy approach?
43:43 Q6 What's the difference between vedana and emotion?
44:48 Q7 Sadness, sorrow, fear, joy. Are the emotions or more fixed states?
49:20 Q8 Observing the breath seems quite important, but as soon as I focus on the breath it gets forced and heavy. Do you have any advice on observing the natural breath without interfering?
52:17 Q9 What does it mean when you say the breathing is a messenger? What is the message?

Q1 Can it be that Qi Gong releases long forgotten memories?
06:40 Q2 If everything is empty, who or what dies and what is reborn if rebirth is not only a concept?
16:19 Q3 Does the Buddhist path result in the loss of loved ones because they're not on that path. For example partner, family, friends? Is there a way to have both? I feel that one side goes at the cost of the other.
20:14 Q4 I've been feeling quite bored sometimes today. How do you recommend to deal with this phenomenon? How could it be explained from a Buddhist point of view?
27:13 Q5 When I'm meditating sitting down, I sometimes feel that I'm losing the perception of a three-dimensional space. I can still feel my body but I don't feel like there's an up or a down or left or right. Is this something common?

Q1 You mentioned vedana as the knowing of a feeling tone. I always thought that vedana occurs very fast and almost unconsciously How could one practice or investigate vedana a more deeply?
23:51 Q2 What is conscience from the Buddhist point of view?

30:31 Q4 What actually do we need a mind for? In another words is there a quick and easy way to distinguish useful and harmful thinking?
40:24 Q5 Where do you see similarities and differences between dhamma practice and positive neuroplasticity? How can we cultivate more joy?
37:01 Q6 If I don't proceed according to the map, then how do I know if I'm doing something wrong or whether it just takes time?
54:16 Q7 Is it easier to stay grounded when speaking to others? It seems easier to say grounded when not speaking to others.
