Lightly Guided Mindfulness Of The Breath (Anapanasati)

This is a lightly guided 60-minute practice that begins with a mindfulness warm-up of checking in with the senses. William then follows a traditional practice of allowing the body to breathe naturally, returning to the sensation of breath from one area, counting the breath, and then savoring the full experience of the in-breath and out-breath. During the meditation, there is plenty of silence allowing for a depth of concentration.

Reviews

Nice prompts to settle in, some nudges, and plenty of open space.

Thank you for the reminder that it takes time to settle during a sit. Thank you also for mentioning seeing the calming process as both shortening the periods of distraction between periods of awareness of breathing and lengthening the periods of awareness. Thank you for the silence.

Liked it a lot

Good one. Less is more. Helped me to realize that I already developed a lot of inner practice guidance. 🙏

Some prior experience is welcome, but don’t let that scare you. An amazing introduction towards self-practice. Even in the beginning I’d do meditations like this one just to appreciate the longer-term goal of liberation.
