2019-12-16 Refreshing the Art of Sitting 39:39
Ajahn Sucitto
Finding the right posture when sitting can open up the belly and the chest. Safety is sensed in the belly, receptivity in the chest. When the body is relaxed the mind is happy in its own presence – this is samādhi.

2019-12-15 Sañña and Saṇkhāra Lead to Saṃsāra 67:35
Ajahn Sucitto

2019-12-15 Suggestions on Positions and Comfort 5:29
Ajahn Sucitto
We have to support the limitations of this body. Don’t add the unnecessary stress of expecting to keep completely still during meditation. Move the body, sense the whole body, take deep breaths, relax.

2019-12-15 How to Cultivate Samādhi in Walking Meditation 17:27
Ajahn Sucitto
Walking meditation supports the mind to come to a very balanced state. Let unskillful states and attitudes steam off as you walk. What’s left is something bright, warm and comfortable. Let the mind rest in that.
