2020-12-19 Guided Meditation - Turning to 'I' 14:48
Ajahn Sucitto
Beginning the process of centering, set aside what isn’t relevant right now. Strengthen the bodily reference to help support citta. Acknowledge the sense of I am – what is the I, how is that experienced?

2020-12-18 Guided Meditation - The Still Centre 35:28
Ajahn Sucitto
The energy of citta is conjoined with bodily energy. Steadying and brightening body gives citta a place to rest so it can withdraw from phenomena. With the disentangling from phenomena, the quiet center of citta, the knowingness, becomes more apparent.

2020-12-13 The Art and Practice of Forgiveness 4:23:24
Phillip Moffitt, Noliwe Alexander
The art of forgiveness begins with connecting to the heart. The practice involves learning skills such as metta, mindful acknowledgement, and compassion. Practicing these skills enables you to free yourself from painful identification with past events. This is a day to bring remorse or grief about past actions and move beyond feelings of guilt and shame. Likewise, if someone has wronged you, you will be guided toward holding them in accountability without closing your heart. Additionally, forgiveness practice will move you toward clarity and acceptance for the ways you have let yourself down. Practicing forgiveness allows you to move from a heavy, remorseful heart and a reactive mind to a heart that’s light but still feels regret, and a mind that is calm and clear. The day will be held with periods of guided silent sitting and walking meditation practice, instruction in the art and practice of forgiveness, and a forgiveness ceremony, with opportunities to ask questions to the instructors.

2020-12-09 Guided Meditation – Brahmaviharā 30:11
Ajahn Sucitto
If we keep picking up and resonating the brahmaviharā heart tones, citta will naturally open and move in that direction. These are natural expressions of citta – it feels rewarded with these expressions and is energized.

2020-12-09 Guided Meditation – Handling the Citta towards Jhāna 38:51

Bodhi College Citta: Mind, Heart, Spirit

2020-12-08 Guided Meditation – Responsive Intelligence 25:20
Ajahn Sucitto
Meditation is a process repeatedly placing attention. Keep touching references of comfort and steadiness, listen and linger until citta picks up the sign. We begin to learn what is suitable, what is working to gladden citta. It then has the strength to break down the afflictions of heart and body.
Bodhi College Citta: Mind, Heart, Spirit

2020-12-08 Guided Meditation On Primary Citta 31:51
Ajahn Sucitto

Bodhi College Citta: Mind, Heart, Spirit

2020-12-08 Guided Meditation – Opening out of Circumstance 24:42

2020-12-07 Guided Meditation – Intentional Aspect of Citta 29:13

2020-12-07 Guided Meditation – Centring and Stabillizing Citta 39:11
Ajahn Sucitto
Citta is our center, but it’s conditioned to allowing itself to be occupied with transient phenomena. In meditation we can shift back to citta as the center, thereby weakening the habits of running out and trying to control circumstances.

2020-12-06 Guided Meditation – Training the Mind with Light Touch and Listening 25:36
Ajahn Sucitto
Citta is energetic, its energies habituated to going out. Settle and calm it through the body, and sustain attention with light touch and listening, vitaka-vicara. Listen for a long time to what you place your attention on. Mind becomes calm and receptive.
