James Baraz
This is a three part series of talks on James’ basic meditation instructions: “Receive the moment with a relaxed, interested and kind awareness. What does a kind awareness mean?

2009-03-21 Volition and The Rut of i am 46:09
Ajahn Sucitto
Generally, mind becomes tangled with concerns for the future, planning, wanting things to be completed, finished. But nothing is solid or definite; it’s never quite right.

Open, soften, let it travel through.
