Coping with Negativity: Content, Context and Consciousness
Description
What makes a thought or experience negative? And is it “bad” to have a negative thought or experience?
Thom gives us food for thought in this episode, in response to a question from a guest at a recent retreat.
Using his own unusual childhood as a case study, Thom explains the distinction between content and context, and the role consciousness and Vedic Meditation have in helping us negate the negative.
