today was day 976 of daily meditation, day 3 of intentionally starting my meditation practice with the istana. anapana and vipassana are crucial components to the clarity I desire within and without. the first cultivation of discipline is patience—patience being the art of watching change occur without effort. these tracks have helped me take significant leaps in finding presence and letting go of thought more efficiently in and out of the meditation seat. extremely grateful for this practice 🙏🏾.

fantastic preparatory practice for somatic healing. vipassana and anapana enable an accelerated velocity of change by deepening awareness. the more relinquishment is applied, the quicker surrender and adaptation can occur. I’m extremely grateful for this practice 🙏🏾.

the calming sensation brought on by Anapana always works for me. the practice of returning to the breath = gratitude. in my moments of anxiety-induced-self-frustration, my attention wanders into my imagination, where I constantly see situations that haven’t happened yet and hypothesize my response. anapana frees me from this by reminding me of the power of breathing mindfully and observing the mind from the heart. grateful for this practice 😌🙏🏾.

I really enjoyed this short vipassana meditation. there was amazing context provided about collecting awareness. it provided a strong visualization of where my attention was, and where I could move it to throughout the practice. I learned a lot about the nature of silence and its power through this meditation. for that, I am truly grateful 😌🙏🏾.
