Walk Back to Center
18:31
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
In whatever activity we engage in, meditation through the postures is a matter of returning to presence – to that awareness which can know. With walking, don’t do the walking, meditate the walking. Maintain a core presence that doesn’t participate and doesn’t shut anything out. Meet everything with openness and alertness, like a mother welcoming her children.

Mindfulness of Movement
41:42
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
The underlying bent of the mind is craving, that leaning of the mind to have, get, find, belong. In meditation we practise with loosening that craving energy, and introducing calming subjects for recollection. Walking meditation is a skilful means for loosening and gentling the mind.

Opening Talk for a retreat where the silence, sitting and walking of Insight Meditation and the movement of QiGong are seamlessly woven together into a form that invites us to gently explore the ways in which we define and limit ourselves, allowing insight into our true nature to arise, freeing us to live in a woser and more compassionate relationship with ourselves and the world.

Stillness In Movement - Walking Meditation
22:07
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
Within the movement of walking, the mind becomes still. There is a lovely quality of movement and stillness. That’s where a centre that begins to occur, a centre of awareness. Not held through fixation or obsession, it arises with the factor of ease, factor of repeated process, just going through it again and again, and clearing out the obstacles.

Walking Meditation
28:02
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
Walking helps to shift energies of the mind. The movement of walking holds the mind, helping it give up its preoccupations and come into the body. Breathing in and out, taking one step at a time, the afflicted stirred up energy recedes and you feel yourself in flow. Let your mind rest in that.
