    Ivan,

    Dear Blake,

    Malte Malm,

    I’m, not able to answer those questions, but I’m sure you’ll find some information here: http://dharmatreasure.org/teaching-retreats/. Check Meditation and Insight retreat and read Culadasa’s handouts (especially Handout 3) or listen to his talks. Best regard, Blaž

    John, I don’t think there is any extra information available, but maybe we could find something in archives containing all of Culadasa’s dharma talks. Did you search also somewhere else (for example Jhana and Insight Group)?

    Upasaka Tucker, thanks for your quick response. I’ll try to follow your advice (let it come, let it be, let it go, and see it as a sign of progress).
