2009-09-29 Establishing Thoughtfulness and Reflection (vitakka-vicara) 36:43
Ajahn Sucitto
To meditate refers to placing the mind on a conducive object. There are functions that support meditation: vitakka –applied thoughtfulness/consideration; and, vicara – reflective evaluating, taking in the effects of what we apply ourselves to. Various applications of vitakka-vicara are reviewed, from the 5 indriya to mindfulness of body and breathing.

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?

2009-01-06 Themes of meditation 30:49
Ajahn Sucitto
Through referencing the parable of the cook (S.47:8), we are encouraged to get to know the mind in order to choose the meditation theme that suits it best. There are a range of themes you can use to counteract hindrances: such as death contemplation, unattractiveness of the body, lovingkindness, Buddha and breathing. Through trial and error, find out what is needed.
