Mindfulness - Deepstash

Mindfulness

In the Satipatthana Sutta, the Buddha takes joy in telling his students how the body can lead the way to enlightenment. Begin, he advises, by sitting on the floor with your back straight and your legs crossed. Focus on your breath. 

Start by simply noting what is happening: I am breathing in. I am breathing out. Then take note of whether the breath is short or long. Eventually, you’ll become aware of where you are in the breath – the beginning, middle, end. As you go on, you’ll notice that you don’t just breathe with your nose and your mouth, or even lungs. Breath occurs through the whole body
