2018-02-01 AM - Assessing rather than judging our practice 67:04
Ajahn Sucitto
The thing to assess is where the dukkha is, the stress, pressure, longing. Find your refuge place. First attend to where your strengths are, where your ease, humour and resources are, and be nourished there. Don’t let yourself get pulled into your struggle until you’re ready for it. Aspiration, recollection and assessment are necessary prologues to direct application. [Instructions end 23:55] [Begins again 59:15] Sensing how it feels to come back into the group form after a period of individual practice. Sharing blessings and receiving them.

2018-01-31 Meditation: Beyond the Veil of Thinking 20:25
Tara Brach
This meditation awakens us to the space and aliveness in these bodies, and to resting in wakeful openness. When we get lost in thought, we practice relaxing open, and exploring the gap between thoughts. By opening beyond the veil of thinking, we discover the Beingness that is home.

2018-01-31 Part 3 of 3 – Freedom from Othering: Undoing the Myths that Imprison Us 52:20
Tara Brach
A primary source of our suffering is the conditioning to create “bad other,” or “inferior other.” This same conditioning leads us to creating a bad self and turn on ourselves. These three talks explore how we subscribe to societal myths and beliefs that perpetuate this “bad othering,” and “bad selfing.” They then guide us in bring a healing attention that can reveal the goodness that lives through all beings, and our innate connectedness. A core teaching is, “the boundary to who we include in our hearts is the boundary to our freedom.”

2018-01-31 Evening Q&A 49:26
Ajahn Sucitto
1. Is aspiration (not the chanda type) the same as becoming? How can we not make aspiration into bhava tanha (craving for becoming); 2. (12:30) How do we have skillful mindfulness or more effective awareness of sensations? I find my mindfulness is rather superficial; 3. (18:25) How can we abstain from killing living creatures when doing daily duties? For example finding ants in what needs to be swept in the kitchen; 4. (25:22) Is it possible to be aware and work fast at the same time - like in the kitchen? 5. (43:10) Please talk about spiritual by-pass and how to avoid it, especially as it relates to the idea of not self.
