Samadhi and Insight: Anapanasati Sutta
|
| The Anapanasati Sutta (Mindfulness of Breathing in sixteen steps) is an experiential map of joy, tranquility, and liberation. This classic teaching provides the foundation for cultivating concentration (samadhi) and developing insights that lead to the freedom of mind and heart.
It is inspiring to know that this was a fundamental practice for the Buddha. This teaching underlies much of our mindfulness practice, and when explored in-depth can enliven, energize, and deepen the practice as we become more able to work with it intentionally, on retreat and in our daily lives. Anapanasati can become a steady and embodied support for wise response in these times. |

Guided practice exploring impermanence as the flow of present-moment experience. By noticing pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral experiences arising and changing, we begin to see through the sense of solidity and discover greater ease in allowing each moment to come and go.
