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.

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
Download Listen
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.

2017-12-27 Standing Meditation: Awaken the body’s intelligence 25:21
Ajahn Sucitto
Download Listen
The body can self-reference. It knows when it’s in balance, what upright is, and can relax what’s not needed. When the physical form becomes comfortable, bring attention to the bodily mood. Mind can pick up tones of firm, open, confident from the body.

Ajahn Sucitto
Download Listen
Formal meditation is helpful, but we need to cultivate careful attention throughout the day. Use mind skilfully to bond attention in the body. Notice the body’s own intelligence. Attention becomes less like a scientist, more like a healer – the good friend.

Puja gives the occasion for meaningful ritual. We can lift up and direct recollections to brighten and soothe the dull, agitated heart. That good heart becomes your refuge and guide.
