Instruction - conscious attention

Attention is a constant thing, so if you don’t place it, it will find its own place, and it will generally place itself into suffering – what could be, should be, things we can’t quite manage. Place it somewhere useful, starting with the body. This is the foundation. [10:03 instructions on breathing and breath energy] With good clear breath energy, mind can establish mindfulness. Careful attention prepares the ground so there’s something suitable to be mindful of. [20:10 begin silent sitting meditation]

Initial Instruction - devotion, posture, breathing

Rather than getting somewhere or accumulating anything, Dhamma practice is a matter of bringing forth from ourselves in terms of presence, faith and attention. Attention is a matter of the heart, and the heart is very much supported through the body. Mindfulness of body is the frame; with suitable posture the process of breathing can flow through naturally. [40:02 Begin standing instructions]
