2006-07-14 Hindrances & Entering The Place Of Presence 60:04
Ajahn Sucitto
There’s a glow and energizing effect to the hindrances that we’re attracted to. But if we lose presence in their pursuit, we don’t notice how they burn us. Samadhi is the overcoming of this, the coming into presence. The stages of samadhi cultivation are described, grounding the heart in the body so doesn’t rush out with feeling.

2006-07-13 Guided Meditation - Opening To The Sense Of 'other' 21:04
Ajahn Sucitto
The tendency is to conceive ourselves as being a separate entity; yet, we’re always in something. There is something around us without which we wouldn’t survive. Practice sensing into the ‘us-ness’, the sense of me and something else. Mindfulness of body and breathing support this practice.

2006-07-13 Steadying Presence - Breathing Where You Are 46:58
Ajahn Sucitto
With breathing we are coming into different aspect of body, the energy body. Feel the internal body with reference to breathing. Use the thinking mind to keep pointing – where am I? Heart picks up feelings of space, gladness ease. Body, heart mind work together to clear kammic disturbances in the energy field. Walking instructions at the end.

2006-07-12 Connecting Body To Mind In Terms Of Energy 44:39
Ajahn Sucitto
The kind of effort energy that is often brought to ‘trying to meditate’ lacks balance. Guidance is given to establish a steady upright posture with the external frame of the body. Energy is sensed at chakra centers to support its free flow through the body.
