2017-12-28 Evening Talk Bhavana 33:15
Ajahn Sucitto
Bhāvanā is a cultivation of heart and mind, right motivation and right view. It’s understanding the process of dhammas, not getting involved in content, knowing what’s taking me into my habits. This brings a sense of strength, groundedness and self-respect.

2017-12-28 Meditation: Loving Kindness for Ourselves 39:00
Kaira Jewel Lingo
In this meditation, we begin by visualizing benefactors offering us kindness, care and acceptance. We practice to truly let this in, and fill our bodies and minds. Then we begin to generate it for ourselves. (Gratitude to John Makransky for inspiration from his "Receiving the Healing, Liberating Power of Love" meditation.)

2017-12-28 Morning Instructions- Unification 54:11
Ajahn Sucitto
Agitation is a result of favoring and opposing experience. Meditation is about bringing body, heart and mind together to meet experience without favoring or opposing. Hindrances can be cleared from this unified place.

2017-12-27 Sensing with Soul (Part 7) 50:37
Rob Burbea
PLEASE NOTE: 'The Mirrored Gates' is a set of talks (recorded by Rob from his home) attempting to clarify, elaborate on, and open up further the concepts, practices, and possibilities explained in previous talks on imaginal practice. Some working familiarity with those previous teachings will provide a helpful foundation for this new set; but a good understanding of and experiential facility with practices of emptiness, samatha, the emotional/energy body, metta, and mindfulness is necessary and presumed, without which these new teachings may be confusing and difficult to comprehend.

2017-12-27 Evening Talk with Sharing and Aspirations Chant: Purification is the aim 1:10:02
Ajahn Sucitto
Energy is affected by intention. If we approach meditation with an intense need to calm and find a focus, we probably won’t be able to. This very aim affects our breathing and sense of ease. Make the aim about purification, letting things be how they are without getting intense about it.
