Discerning Anapanasati Breath Meditation

Our breath is a tactile sensation and a means through which we can become more mindful. However, too often we limit our appreciation of Anapanasati to being passively mindful. But the Buddha was very clear on this point, the pursuit of this state of awakening is not necessarily passive. This requires discernment. Anapanasati is a practice of discernment. The purpose of right mindfulness is to create a space in which skillful qualities will rise and unskillful ones will fall away.

Experience the interconnectedness of all things and cause & effect within your own breath during this 15-minute meditation.
