JASON SIFF is head teacher of the Skillful Meditation Project. He teaches and leads retreats in Recollective Awareness throughout the United States and in Australia. He is also the author of Unlearning Meditation- What to Do When the Instructions Get in the Way.
“Jason Siff has developed Recollective Awareness meditation as a
way of revealing and recounting the rich inner landscape of mental
life during practice. My own clinical and reflective practice
suggests that developing such recollective skills is a part of
making sense of our lives and bringing peace to our inner
storms.”—Daniel Siegel, author of The Mindful Brain and
Brainstorm
“Siff’s book reads like a novel, but don't let the pleasure stop
you. His instructions plug a common vulnerability for many
meditators who get tied in knots, trying to discard thoughts as
‘distractions.’ Instead, Siff upholds the possibility of
establishing a gentler, more respectful relationship with every
part of our experience, learning from our thoughts and allowing
calm and insight to arise naturally.”—Kate Lila Wheeler, author of
When Mountains Walked and Not Where I Started From
“A respectful, intelligent, and refreshing approach to mindfulness
of thinking. Rather than viewing thoughts as problems for
meditation, Jason Siff describes a holistic approach to freedom
through a wise exploration of thinking. For anyone who struggles
with thoughts in meditation this book teaches a way out of the
struggle.”—Gil Fronsdal, author of The Issue at Hand and translator
of The Dhammapada
