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.

2018-01-31 AM - Sati sampajañña A hold that knows how to flex 43:21
Ajahn Sucitto
In meditation practice we need to moderate the meditator. Influenced by the business model, attention can be rigid. Wisdom, which we all have access to, is sensitive and flexible in its mode of attention, helping us find the right touch to meet experience.

2018-01-31 Guided Meditation - Saying Yes to what arises 5:16
Ajahn Sucitto
Use the word “yes” to meet whatever is occurring. Without agitation or resistance, without results or trying to change anything. A reference point begins to form, there’s willingness and openness that has its own stature. Use sympathetic resonance with whatever arises.

2018-01-30 Evening 30 min Meditation - Mindfulness and full knowing 43:56
Ajahn Sucitto
Sati-sampajañña, mindfulness and full knowing, are the basis of mindfulness. These are the holding and handling in meditation. Sati is the foundation for samadhi (unification), sampajañña is the foundation for pañña (wisdom). Sense of ground is generally the necessary starting point. [Instructions end 9:52]

1. I am not able to get the breath at the nostrils. What should I do?; 2 (19:20) Could you discuss body energy more?; 3.
