Recorded on 7 October 2023 with worldwide participants
0:00 Introduction from Babaji
1:13 What does Babaji mean by 'watching' in meditation?
5:24 In the instructions Babaji directs us to 'concentrate the mind and sight between the eyebrows' and then 'keep watching there by focusing the attention' - are these two different steps?

11:12 If you steadily watch, will the position take care of itself in time?
12:09 What do we do when sound effects come up in meditation?
13:48 How does meditation compare to watching a photo of guru or the divine?
17:06 Can we employ the technique of 'watching' when we are moving around in the world?
19:19 Why does it seem like a black void when all visions go, but feeling of existence is still there?
20:32 Do impressions register with the 'watcher' or is the 'watcher' free of all such samskars and is it just awareness?
22:01 How to heal ourselves of painful memories and what is the meaning of true forgiveness?
24:16 What does it mean to 'watch the thought'?

36:59 How to stay focused on watching in meditation
39:20 If one is watching, will the thoughts not form?
41:32 Is it ok to concentrate on the peace between the thoughts?
43:24 When experiencing difficulty with watching, can one revert to a different technique?
45:33 What to do when breath almost stops in meditation?
