2014-08-30 07 Steep Yourself in the Good 49:12
Ajahn Sucitto
When we experience hostility and ill will, rather than simply acknowledging it, we stick it into ourselves, and begin to assume we’re unwelcome or unworthy. We can use meditation to change the flavor of the heart, steeping it in the qualities of the brahmavihara (goodwill, compassion, gladness, equanimity).

2014-08-30 06 Empathy Unseats the Tyrant Programs 42:56
Ajahn Sucitto
Seeking comfort, both physical and psychological, we’ve developed programs to avoid and deflect the experience of irritation. But these are tyrant programs. They can be cleared through the willingness to open and feel without compulsive actions and reactions.

2014-08-30 05 Walking Meditation: Coming Out of Stuck States 38:53
Ajahn Sucitto
In walking meditation, mental patterns are bound to well up. If you don’t go into decisive action around them, they will fade. Give attention instead to the fluidity of the body while walking. Let things work themselves out; it’s not up to us to claim or reject. Come back to the here of breathing and body; realizations occur in that process.

2014-08-30 04 Freeing Ourselves Up to Feel 46:54
Ajahn Sucitto
We fall for the tyranny of institutionalized systems and fixed structures because they promise stability and certainty. But there is no empathy in such tyranny. Embodied presence enables empathy. Our own bodies provide the stability we need to be with our mental stuff without reacting. Thus our capacity to be human increases.
