So Anapanasati means to be with your breath. Buddha said that when you are with your breath, You cannot be with your thoughts. Let us begin. Make yourself comfortable as much as possible.

Let us shift our awareness from the world around us to the world inside us. Inhale deeply and exhale completely. Take another deep breath and release. Now bring your awareness to your breath. Let us generate a deep sense of gratitude for our breath as breath is our anchor and connects us to this life. Let us stay with our breath, Simple, Natural, Normal and easy breath. Just observe, Is your breath deep? Is it shallow? Is it warm or is it cold? Whatever it is, Accept it as it is. Thoughts will come, Let them come. Just stay with your breath. When we reach no thought state, That is when the cosmic energy enters our body. It is the divine healing intelligent energy. It knows where to go and what to heal. We just need to surrender to this divine intelligence and stay with our breath. Just stay connected to the ease, Peace and joy that resides within us.
