Insight Hour with Joseph Goldstein

You might feel the energy of it, not only to recognize that the desire is there, but it's almost dropping down and feeling what the energy of wanting is like. What does it feel like? And this quality of wanting. Now at some point, just in being mindful of this very simple desire that's arisen, you may notice that it disappears.
