2017-07-29 08: Return, Return, Return 8:35
Ajahn Sucitto
The energy body is a particular fullness of being – this is citta. As it’s more completed, it becomes less obstructed. Take time to gather and center in the completed citta, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Meditation means to return time and time again.

2017-07-28 07: Standing Meditation 1: Balance – the Place of Least Stress & Most Harmony 6:30
Ajahn Sucitto
The single most important quality of standing meditation is balance. This is the place of least stress, of most harmony. Guidance is provided to sense into this balance where it’s just the muscular alignment that’s holding you up. Locking places can then relax and release.

2017-07-28 04: Walking without Headism 12:43
Ajahn Sucitto
Ajahn Sucitto addresses a form of bodily discrimiation called “headism.” It says, “I’m on top, everything is secondary to me,” and it drags everything underneath it around. Headism can be overcome by operating through the body rather than through the head. It can be practiced in walking meditation.

Ajahn Sucitto

2017-07-28 01: A Harmony of Body and Mind 27:27
Ajahn Sucitto
Meditation is where the body and mind interact. Physical form creates the boundary within which to dwell. No third party is needed, no abstractor, no one to do anything. Just allow body and mind to come into harmony autonomously.

2017-07-26 Meditation: Living Presence – Awakening with a Smile 18:45
Tara Brach
This practice uses the image and felt sense of a smile as we scan through the body, include sound and relax back into the awareness that is the source of all experience. By letting life be just as it is, we become pure living presence – wakeful, open and tender.
