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.
