Motivation

Discover with us the transformative power of breath awareness and mindfulness to find inner peace and clarity.

Background

Anapanasati meditation, also known as breath awareness, is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in Buddhism to calm the mind and sharpen awareness.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Find a quiet and undisturbed place where you can sit or lie comfortably.
2. Gently close your eyes and focus your attention on your breath as it flows in and out of your nostrils.
3. Feel your belly rise and fall with each inhale and exhale. Let this natural rhythm of your breath guide you.
4. Stay in this moment and consciously observe each inhale and exhale without trying to change or influence them.
5. If your thoughts wander, gently and without judgment, return to your breath. Allow yourself to stay fully in the here and now.
6. Deepen your mindfulness by noticing the sensations in your body that are connected to the breath. Feel the expansiveness and depth of your breath.
7. Expand your presence by rooting yourself more in your body with each breath. Feel the grounding and stability that this practice brings you.
8. Open your heart to the beauty of the present moment and the connectedness to all that is. Inhale gratitude and exhale stress.
9. Stay in this breath awareness for as long as it feels right for you. Let your breath guide you on a journey of self-discovery.
10. End the practice by slowly opening your eyes and carrying the deep relaxation and clarity into your everyday life.
