Tuesday Oct 30, 2018
Ajahn Sujato teaches us that the important thing with meditation is not so much about the method of meditation, but the attitude we bring to it. For example, if you get stressed, Ajahn Sujato encourages us to look for the causes of the stress rather than trying to keep on doing the thing that creates the problem and then try to fix it by meditating.

Unlocking the Secrets of Your Mind | Ajahn Brahmavamso
Sunday Oct 28, 2018
Sunday Oct 28, 2018
Ajahn Brahm's talk given at Chui Huay Lim in Singapore on 14th June 2016, about "Unlocking the Secrets of Your Mind". The talk about the topic begins properly around 13 minutes into the recording.
Ajahn starts by talking about the nature of mind (which is not in the heart or brain, but that the brain and heart are in the mind). When we realise how big the mind is, we can then begin to unlock it, for our benefit for example, for our health. Ajahn also shares a story about a Thai monk who carries metal tool-kits into plane cabins relying solely on his prior meditation & chanting to prevent getting caught!

Kathryn begins her third of four weeks at AMG by explaining why we need, or rather when we may need, to change our perspective. Kathryn uses examples such as the need for very focused perspective when doing surgery as compared to when we need a broad perspective on those occasions when something negative has occurred in our life. The benefits, to our health and well being, of positive emotions and the chemicals our bodies release when we have a positive experience have been the subject of many recognised research studies around the world today.
Kathryn then leads the group in three separate meditations. The first meditation is aimed at recognising when the mind tries to narrow our focus or perspective, putting us into a well known loop of negativity. By recognising when this occurs we can learn to deal with it and return to our broader perspective.
The second meditation highlights our feeling and belief of being independent when, in actuality, we are interdependent on so many people in our lives. Gratitude is used to focus our attention during this meditation. To bring this to mind Kathryn recited a poem by Jane Kenyon (1947–1995), former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire in the US, titled “Otherwise”. The object was to encourage us to realise that despite our trials and tribulations things could be worse and that perhaps our lives aren't quite as bad as we believe.
The third meditation brings to mind equanimity; the calm amidst the storm; the idea of being able to maintain balance and a sense of being grounded when the proverbial is hitting the fan. During the meditation Kathryn helps us to broaden our perspective by reading the “Serenity Prayer”;
“May I have the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.”
