TWIM Breathing Meditation - Anapanasati - From The Suttas!

Most practices are not teaching breath practice from the suttas and unfortunately leave out the critical step to tranquilize or relax the arising distraction, as laid out in the Anapanasati and Satipathanna Sutta. Instead of focusing on the breath at the nosetip or other place, you UNDERSTAND and KNOW that you are breathing. You come to the present moment with what you are doing. You easily attain to the TWIM aware Jhanas and as stated eventually attain Nibbana.

When the mind wanders you use the 6R process to let go of the hindrance and relax and redirect back to the breath- you will attain a collected state and even a jhana very quickly by letting go of hindrances instead of suppressing them.

Sadhu Sadhu Sudhu! The breath meditation as taught by the Buddha.

First time with you, my heart thanks for your kindness

This deliberate focus on relaxing again every time you catch yourself being distracted…. After close to 20 min I had the very beginnings of a kasina. Sort of like an afterimage when you look at a bright light, and I’ve never figured out how I got that to appear until now. And yes, it disappears the second you get excited and you have to re-relax to bring it back, but it will come back.

Could you release a longer version of this? I think the singing bowl helped alot too.

Excellent!

Simple and clear, very good guided meditation
