Anapanasati Meditation
mindfulness of breathing
Ānāpānasati (Pali; Sanskrit ānāpānasmṛti), meaning "mindfulness of breathing", is a form of Buddhist meditation originally taught by Gautama Buddha.
Anapanasati is now common to Tibetan, Zen, Tiantai and Theravada Buddhism as well as Western-based mindfulness programs.
Simply defined, Anapanasati is to feel the sensations caused by the movements of the breath in the body as is practiced
in the context of mindfulness meditation.
“If you are quiet enough, you will hear the flow of the universe. You will feel its rhythm. Go with this flow. Happiness
lies ahead. Meditation is key.”
Buddha
If you are interested in learning anapanasati, I highly recommend joining a 10 days in silent retreat at Suan Mokkh. Founded in 1989 by Venerable Ajahn
Buddhadasa The Suan Mokkh International Dharma Hermitage organises monthly English-language retreats in south of
Thailand. So far the hermitage has been visited by over 25,000 people, coming from all over the world, and from many different walks
of life.
