The 5 Spiritual Faculties (Strengths, Powers)

This meditation is recommended for practitioners with some experience because in its wording it presumes a “mindfulness of breathing” practice already in place. That does not mean that first time or beginner meditators will not benefit- it is impossible to know what will inspire us. My education on the 5 faculties comes primarily from Thanissaro Bhikkhu and Gil Fronsdal, and the ensuing observations in my own practice. Understanding is never explained- a way is suggested, and an attainment is achieved, embodied. May you continue to uncover your path.
