2014-08-31 10 Standing Meditation: There Are No Tyrannies in Space 11:07
Ajahn Sucitto
One feature of programs is they cause contraction. When standing, then, it’s helpful to acknowledge space as an experience. In front of you, behind and above you, let the body experience the lack of intrusion and obstruction – space is open and free. There are no tyrannies in space.

2014-08-31 08 Guided Meditation: Internal Happiness 30:09
Ajahn Sucitto
Meditation offers the opportunity to encourage the body to open into a more steady state of pleasure than is normally attainable through sense contact. This internal happiness has to do with the body’s subtle energy. Guidance is given to sense the subtle body and experience this internal happiness.

2014-08-30 07 Steep Yourself in the Good 49:12
Ajahn Sucitto
When we experience hostility and ill will, rather than simply acknowledging it, we stick it into ourselves, and begin to assume we’re unwelcome or unworthy. We can use meditation to change the flavor of the heart, steeping it in the qualities of the brahmavihara (goodwill, compassion, gladness, equanimity).
Sunyata Buddhist Centre :  Unseating the Inner Tyrant

2014-08-30 05 Walking Meditation: Coming Out of Stuck States 38:53
Ajahn Sucitto
In walking meditation, mental patterns are bound to well up. If you don’t go into decisive action around them, they will fade. Give attention instead to the fluidity of the body while walking. Let things work themselves out; it’s not up to us to claim or reject. Come back to the here of breathing and body; realizations occur in that process.

2014-08-29 02 Standing Meditation: Springing Rhythmic Nature of the Body 15:07
Ajahn Sucitto
Use standing posture to acknowledge the springing rhythmic nature of the body. When the body relaxes, the mind relaxes – the two synchronize. What the body does, the mind picks up.

2014-08-29 01 Meditation is Always Present Moment 30:11

Direct experience of the body in the present moment provides a mooring in the midst of thoughts and emotions.

2014-08-23 Opening Talk - Joyful Living 61:36
Leela Sarti
The practice of embodied mindful meditation opens the possibility to understand and transform our habits of dissatisfaction and distraction, and invites spaciousness and openness in our day-to-day lives. Becoming intimate, moment by moment, with living reality expands our life-perspective and attunes us to what really matters in life. We can invite the practice of mind-heart-body fullness and the reorienting, and inclining of the mind towards the natural capacity for well-being, contentment, delight and kindness.

with Andrea Fella, David Cohn, Jason Murphy, Margaret Gainer, Matthew Brensilver, Misha Merrill, Robert Cusick, Shaila Catherine, Sharon Allen, Tony Bernhard
This series of talks provides insight and practical advice as to how to take the wonderful and serene mind that we develop during our meditation practice into our daily lives, into our relationships with others. Sometimes, the deepest grooves in our minds are only stimulated in our relationships to others. Defilements and habits of the mind, such as greed, anger and delusion, arise in ways that they don't in other situations. Fortunately, these daily life encounters offer us opportunities to practice, to see ourselves more clearly, and to become more free. This is the liberating power of awareness and mindfulness.
