Media Overwhelm: how to meet it

Why do we habitually reach for our cell phones during any pause in the action in our lives?  How does the habit of consuming news and social media entrain our heart/mind (Chitta)? 

Buddhism’s insight into the origins of human cravings and into specific practices which cultivate freedom can be applied directly to this social habit.

Lorilee guided us with a talk by Chas DiCapua of the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center to sharpen our awareness and learn to more consciously choose how to use our devices, rather than be used by them.
