Cultivating Introspection Through Mindfulness Of Breathing

In the traditional teachings on śamatha, or practices for cultivating concentration, "introspection" is defined as a mental function that repeatedly checks on the current state of our body and mind, therefore guarding us from distraction and mental afflictions. In this mindfulness of breathing meditation narrated by CEB co-founder Alan Wallace, introspection is actively cultivated, therefore helping us strengthen our attentional stability in general. Please note that more than half of this meditation is silent, allowing for the application of the instructions.
