Presented here are the foundation meditation practices taught by Ajahn Anan, leading to collectedness, stillness and joy. Initially, he talks about posture and methods of watching the breath, then explains how to use a mantra. When we develop this practice, feelings of bliss and increasingly refined levels of concentration will naturally arise within us. This is a good and detailed description of the basic methods one can use in one's meditation practice, rather than a guided meditation.
