2006-05-06 Rewiring the Energetic System 59:16
Ajahn Sucitto
Our energy systems can often feel burnt-out, depleting our vitality and potential. Attempts to re-energize can end up continually infecting us. Rewire the energetic lines through brahmavihara and samadhi cultivation. These culminate in awakening factors, and ultimately in awakening.

2006-04-22 Opening, Suffusing, Releasing 61:06
Ajahn Sucitto
A lot of suffering is related to a particular mode of doing, an involuntary overwhelming doing. Through mediation we cultivate a different way. By shifting the mind to presence, mind opens to a subtler aspect of doing on the feeling, subjective level – suffusing. We come out of the grip of how we usually attend. This is release.
