Online Christmas Practice Day: Mindfully Exploring the Breath
Mindfully Exploring the Breath
With Alan Hughes
Using the breath as a support is probably one of the best known mindfulness practices, and one of the first that many people learn. This can sometimes give the impression that the Mindfulness of Breath is a “basic practice” but as our mindfulness deepens we discover that this can be an incredibly rich practice, which can help us cultivate both tranquillity and insight. This will be a day focused around mindfulness practice, where we will take time to deepen our awareness of the breath, drawing from some of the teachings of the Buddhist Anapanasati Sutta. While this day is open to anyone, it will probably be of most benefit to people who already have some experience of mindfulness.
