2016-05-08 Citta and a person meet in the body. 61:52
Ajahn Sucitto
Citta is occluded by not knowing its freedom. Citta enters the sensory condition, is ‘born’, develops a person to meet ‘the other’. Here is dukkha and personal responses to that don’t work, but dukkha can be released through citta in the body.

2016-05-08 Standing Meditation: Finding Balance 19:35
Ajahn Sucitto
Balance is an important aspect of bodily/somatic intelligence. It is alert, free from pressure and sensitive. Attuning to this can bring these qualities into citta.

2016-05-08 Puja: Devotion as a way of bringing citta into personhood 41:43
Ajahn Sucitto
Use of one’s voice and of giving it to the sacred. Through merging one’s voice and giving into the communal field, citta can rise out of the isolation of personhood.

2016-05-07 Meditation – the gift of natural ease 47:35
Ajahn Sucitto
Find ground in the body as a gift, not worked for. This opens space around the body. Breathing is another given that flows through that, establishing rhythm = natural time.

2016-05-07 The Nature of Citta 59:45
Ajahn Sucitto
Citta is awareness, heart and mind. It experiences involuntary and voluntary modes. In the involuntary is release, but the path to that is through intention, disengagement, and discernment.
