Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
We continue with our examination of "all sentient beings are sustained by nutriment" (sabbe sattā āhāraṭṭhitikā) in the Saṅgīti Sutta (DN 33)  In this session (PART 6), we learn how to meditate on the Four Nutriments and Suffering.
All the nutriments are linked (work in tandem, or altogether - process happens very quickly), so we build on what we covered in the past five sessions. 
**It is helpful you have at least a broad understanding of each of the Four Nutriments, why we crave them, what is driving the insight pathways and why we go the wrong way in each of them. It's also beneficial if you are familiar with the "swinging monkey" analogy we went through in Part 4 - Mental Volition as Nutriment (3rd Unprofitable Direction)**
In this short session, we explain the meditation steps using the Four Nutriments & Four Wrong Ways Table, and go through 2 examples to help us to apply this meditation. When you do this meditation, take an example that is relevant to you so you can connect with this Dhamma more directly.
