Things Fall into Place | Corey #2 | 4.6.22

Corey and Dhammarato talk about how we tend to be so obsessed with insights derived through what is arising (attainments or achievements) that we fail to take account of the richness of things passing away. Dhammarato offers advice on practicing ānāpānasati immediately before sleeping and on waking.
