WIKIPEDIA Anapanasanti "mindfulness of breathing" form of buddhist meditation to feel the sensations caused by the movements of the breath in the body, as is practiced in the context of mindfulness
origins in buddhism
core meditation practice in theravada, tiantai, chan, zen
The Anapanasati Sutta specifically concerns mindfulness of inhalation
and exhalation, as a part of paying attention to one's body in
quietude, and recommends the practice of ānāpānasati meditation as a
means of cultivating the seven factors of awakening: sati
(mindfulness), dhamma vicaya (analysis), viriya (persistence), which
leads to pīti (rapture), then to passaddhi (serenity), which in turn
leads to samadhi (concentration) and then to upekkhā (equanimity).
anapanasati has been used as a basis for developing meditative
concentration (samadhi) until reaching the state and practice of full
absorption (jhana). It is the same state reached by the Buddha during
his quest for Enlightenment.
