The Practice Of Mindful Breathing As Taught By The Buddha ♡ Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh

🙏 Thay begins with a short (4 minute) meditation followed by a talk on mindful breathing as taught by the Buddha. When you hear the bell simply enjoy your in-breath and out-breath. Breathing in I feel Alive. Breathing out I smile to life. I smile for life in me and around me. The first exercise proposed by the Buddha is breathing In, I know that I am breathing In... Breathing out, I know that I am breathing out... We do not have to make any effort because we breathe in and out all day long. So we don't have to struggle. We just allow ourselves to breathe in and out normally.... And if we truly focus our attention on our breath... some miracles may happen... Our only attention is on our breath and we release everything else... We release all thinking... We release our regret... our sorrow concerning the past... We release the fear an uncertainty about the future... just by focusing our attention on our breath.... And breathing like that can set you free... free from the past... from the future... You can also enjoy your breath. Breathing is not a hard labor... Breathing in is something that can be very enjoyable...

"I will cultivate openness, non-discrimination, and non-attachment to views in order to transform violence, fanaticism, and dogmatism in myself and in the world."

About Mindfulness Meditation :

Mindfulness is a modern movement, appropriated from ancient Buddhist roots. The practice of mindfulness involves being aware moment-to-moment, of one’s subjective conscious experience from a first-person perspective. When practicing mindfulness, one becomes aware of one’s "stream of consciousness". The skill of mindfulness can be gradually developed using meditational practices that are described in detail in the Buddhist tradition. The Five-Aggregate Model, an ancient link between mind and body, is a helpful theoretical resource that could guide mindfulness interventions. The term "mindfulness" is derived from the Pali-term sati which is an essential element of Buddhist practice, including vipassana, satipatthana, and anapanasati.Mindfulness is also an attribute of consciousness long believed to promote well-being. Large population-based research studies have indicated that the idea of mindfulness is strongly correlated with well-being and perceived health. Studies have also shown that rumination and worry contribute to mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety, and that mindfulness-based interventions are effective in the reduction of both rumination and worry.
