Meditation

An important practice of Samatha is mindfulness with breathing:

“Having gone to a calm place, we sit down, holding our body straight and placing our attention in front of us, vigilant we breathe in, vigilant we breathe out »

For any meditation practice, it is necessary to start by developing concentration. You can choose a candle or an image as a point of focus, but the most effective is breathing.

Why breathing?

Because breathing is always with us. It is a bridge that leads us inside ourselves and reflects our moods. It moves or intensifies to the rhythm of our emotions.

The 16 steps of Anapanasati describe our path to awakening, how to simplify our mind and find our natural state.
