**Audio Only** Strengthening our skill in recognizing when we are having certain types of thoughts, emotions, reactions and staying with the initial sensations that come up with them, can help us out of the cycle of getting caught. Naming the initial sensations allows us to stay with them rather than letting them lead us into stories that breed more thought and feeling that keep us from living in the present moment. This talk is followed by a 20 min guided meditation.
