2009-07-14 Natural Mind - Strength, Warmth, Clarity 29:34
Ajahn Sucitto
With mindfulness there’s a deepening into mind. When established you feel the flow of natural responses. Mindfulness places us back into these fundamental qualities of basic strength, basic warmth, basic clarity. The practise is staying with that, letting confused restless energies settle into that. That’s where samadhi can arise.

2009-07-13 Five Faculties - Indriya 22:07
Ajahn Sucitto
The indriya (faith, energy, mindfulness, collectedness, discernment), sometimes called the governing faculties, are capacities we already have and operate through in some rudimentary form. This teaching gives a description each, and how they can be developed to become supportive faculties. When they come together, they merge in the deathless.

2009-07-12 Guide Meditation on Breathing 46:45
Ajahn Sucitto
Keep in mind, attention is on breathing rather than a breath – a process, not a specific thing. Making use of vitakka-vicara, linger and pick up the quality of breath-energy as it moves through. Hold the form, keep the inquiry, remain in the present moment. What is the breathing now?

2009-07-12 Lawless Order 23:57
Ajahn Sucitto
There are certain inclinations we have as human beings. These boil down to the indriya – dominating faculties – of faith, energy, mindfulness, concentration and wisdom. They can go wrong, become sources of suffering if they’re not balanced through awareness. Various examples of how they manifest, and how to keep them in harmony are given.
