The Wellspring of Citta
1:32:14
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
(Begins with 30 min guided meditation)
With self view there is a tendency to meet experience with pre-formed responses of who I am, why they are, and what's needed. Orienting around citta allows a more natural and spontaneous response, one where empathy and preciousness are infused in intentions and actions.

Ground, Balance and Wholeness
33:10
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
Guided Sitting Meditation: (Guidance begins at 10 min, and then again at 25 min) Ask the body to align and find balance, then allow it to happen through vitality versus will power. Look for wholeness with regards to physical pain: rather than splitting into a 'me' who has a stiff shoulder – can it be included?

"Listener, how was it like to receive this?"
2. Now the gift of our practice is to touch joy, something positive, wholesome, uplifting. Let it infuse you, vibrate within you."
Listener, touch the experience of hearing about joy.
