Ajahn Sucitto
Unskillful saṇkhāras can be undone in the same way they are formed – through perception. Skillful use of perception and attention can sooth and steady the body’s energy.

Practising with Ground, Space and Rhythm
Ajahn Sucitto
Contact with the world causes the Citta to lose its sense of ground, space and rhythm. Use of body is recommended as a meditation theme.
Sankhara – The Constructor of All
Ajahn Sucitto
We are encouraged to understand sankhāra, the programs that take hold of us and result in unskillful states. It is possible to not act on these programs, release some of their pressure, and turn the citta towards skillful states.
Direct Practice – Feeling, Perception and Sankhāra
Ajahn Sucitto
Citta is only touched by feeling and perception now. Through not seeing this, not feeling and directly handling it, the whole realm of dukkha gets fabricated. Meet experience directly, with mindfulness and wisdom, and suffering eases up.
Finding Reference in Ground, Space and Rhythm
Ajahn Sucitto
Citta only experiences perception and feeling. We can cultivate skilful perceptions of ground, space and rhythm that result in comfort and ease.
