2018-01-29 Evening Talk - A brief guideline on grounding presence 44:17
Ajahn Sucitto
Find your anchor, that core quality of stability. What is suggested is a spinal, upright sense that goes down into the ground. Take your stand there to repel the forces of Mara. [Instructions end 7:09]

2018-01-29 PM - Entering the bodily field 35:35
Ajahn Sucitto
Body can be experienced in multiple ways - physical, perceptual, somatic, and energetic. In this light, body is an experience rather than a thing. It plays out in meditation. It’s important to establish a more accurate body, clear of perceptual taints and distortions, biases and kammic impositions.

2018-01-29 AM - Detox - clearing the ‘Business Model’ 52:52
Ajahn Sucitto
Conditioning of the business model - performance, achievement, self-criticism - drives us up into our head. Purification of the unskilful, of self-hood, is possible. It’s accomplished through awareness and energy. Balancing yin (receptive) and yang (driving) energies in the body resets our system, easing the compulsive self that has been formed personally and energetically.

2018-01-29 AM - Puja - Dhamma as collective presence and resolve 20:33
Ajahn Sucitto
Puja invites the total participation of body, voice and mind. It allows a group to come together in harmony. It invites skilful recollections of wholesome qualities. Before the familiar “me” energy takes over, puja helps set up a different context of presence, one that is purifying, steadying and clearing.

2018-01-28 Evening - Opening talk - The foundation retreat - cultivation of Dhamma 45:47
Ajahn Sucitto
Laying the groundwork for retreat, yogis are encouraged to stay in touch with qualities of mindfulness, persistence and right energy. Such steady practice fortifies the citta, rather than the thinking mind, as the source of stability in an inherently unstable world. 30:35 Guided Meditation: Guidance for getting grounded, establishing safety in the space around, making the space you’re sitting in your refuge.

Ajahn Sucitto
1. Can a stream enterer lose contact with the Dhamma? 2. (1:47) Can non-Buddhists become stream enterers? 3. (12:12) Should we observe defilements or cultivate wisdom to get rid of them? 4. (21:17) Should we as lay people work to get rid of mental dukkha? 5. (26:04) What is the difference between causes and conditions? 6. (29:09) How do we know “what’s needed now”?

2018-01-28 Morning Public Talk - Careful attention arrests dukkha 43:59
Ajahn Sucitto
The world pulls us out with the promise of security in external things, but there’s only one place suffering stops. It’s in the release of mental activations. Using careful attention, yoniso manasikāra, we meet the causes and conditions of dukkha by noticing how we’re being affected by the world. This is how we can be free from the world while living in the world.

2018-01-24 Meditation: Resting in Reality 23:00
Tara Brach
This guided practice awakens attention to sensations, sounds, space and aliveness, and encourages a continued “relaxing open” from thoughts into the living stream of experience. We are learning to recognize and rest in the moment to moment flow, “being reality,” at home in what we are.
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC IMCW Wednesday Evening Talks

2018-01-24 Part 2 of 3 – Freedom from Othering: Undoing the Myths that Imprison Us 48:52
Tara Brach
A primary source of our suffering is the conditioning to create “bad other,” or “inferior other.” This same conditioning leads us to creating a bad self and turn on ourselves. These three talks explore how we subscribe to societal myths and beliefs that perpetuate this “bad othering,” and “bad selfing.” They then guide us in bring a healing attention that can reveal the goodness that lives through all beings, and our innate connectedness. A core teaching is, “the boundary to who we include in our hearts is the boundary to our freedom.”
