2009-10-01 Hindrances and Aggregates - The Right Response 28:18
Ajahn Sucitto
Download Listen
We can use the suffering that arises from the hindrances as a means for clearing kamma. Rather than getting hooked by our habitual reactions, track the experience through the lens of the aggregates. Set aside the topic, get underneath it. Work with it on an energetic level, feel it in the body. It isn’t easy, but over time confidence builds that this is where it ceases. Then these hindrances have taught us a powerful lesson we won’t get anywhere else.

2009-09-30 Attention, Intention, Energy and Awareness 22:16
Ajahn Sucitto
Download Listen
Two factors play a part in the way the mind operates – attention and intention. Both are conditioned, and both carry energy. Attention limits the span of awareness, intention defines the quality of it. A lot of the problems in meditation can be resolved through attention, intention and bringing the right kind of energy to them.
