2015-12-30 Don’t Concentrate - Absorb 42:04
Ajahn Sucitto
Liberation requires clearing citta of its contracted state. We can learn to care for our citta, to know what lifts and steadies it to bring it out of contraction. In meditation we try to concentrate and feel even more constricted. Opening up the body and accessing the vitality that comes from mindfulness of breathing can have a calming effect.

2015-12-30 Not a Technique – Direct Experience 27:17
Ajahn Sucitto
Meditation is not a set of techniques; it is authentic, direct access to your inner heart/felt subjective experiences. Many times what’s found there is dukkha. Much of it can be resolved just by developing the inner body and clearing the hindrances.

2015-12-29 Mental Feeling Always Surpasses Physical Feeling 56:41
Ajahn Sucitto
Bear this in mind when meditating. With unpleasant or painful mental feeling, the tendency is to contract. Try opening up instead. It stops the cycle of agitation and resistance that keeps the pain there. Use the body to do this, as a source of strength and energy to stop the mind spinning out into story. In order to withdraw and stand back, we must have a place to stand back into. That’s what the body is for.

2015-12-29 Recollection – A Skillful Use of Thought 50:40
Ajahn Sucitto
The practice of recollection involves picking up a particular line of thought that triggers a particular mood or realization. Just saying ‘stop thinking’ or ‘don’t worry’ won’t work to calm and steady the mind. Those are commands. Through recollection the mind can find a degree of stability and comfort, providing refuge under unpleasant and uncomfortable conditions.

2015-12-29 Beautiful, Gentle Quality of Awareness 26:28
Ajahn Sucitto
Viveka, stepping back, is about adjusting attention and energizing in a different way. Morning chanting, for example, is a beautiful way to bring up energy. It’s not about doing or making something happen. Rather, it’s very much towards stillness. Most cittas will benefit from the inner stability of the body, where the nervous system is awake but not firing, stirring, agitated.
