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.

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!
