In this meditation, based upon the Discourse on the Full Awareness of Breathing (Anapanasati Sutta), Sister Annabel (Chan Duc) invites us to return to our breathing so that we can become aware of our body, mind and mental formations. In this way, we are encouraged to calm our body and deepen our understanding of ourselves.
This meditation is taken from Chapter 3, Exercise 18, of The Blooming of a Lotus (Revised & Expanded), published in 2022.
