- “Anapana” means observation of natural, normal respiration - as it comes in and as it goes out. Besides helping to calm and concentrate the mind, Anapana help people to understand themselves better and gives them an insight into the workings of their own minds. Because of its simplicity, the technique is easy to understand. It is a skill that can be developed with dedicated practice.
Last year, I discovered Anapana and Vipassana😊 meditation, and I started with a 15-minute session. Gradually, I worked my way up to 45 minutes, and it was a fantastic experience. I also used a meditation app and completed a 90-minute session on a flight from Arizona to California. The clarity I gained from that meditation was incredible. I did a Sunday Vipassana meditation for about an hour and a half and had a job interview the following Monday. The level of clarity, competence, and sequential thinking was outstanding, I continue to practice Anapana and Vipassana multiple days a week, and I've noticed increased confidence and focus. However, I stopped practicing and noticed lack of focus wi Th my mind, negative thoughts creeping in when I skipped days without meditating. I plan to attend my first ten-day retreat this year-best wishes to those reading this lengthy post.
Ah great. That's so good to get those benefits immediately.
I am wondering if you were able to do the 10 day course?
How's life?
I've done some courses before, and I am booking one for November after 7 years since my last. Can't wait. It is a long time coming.
All the best!
One of the best part in the vipassana meditation course is the discourse
Thank you for your feedback. It is very informative we agree, but no substitute for practice.
Yeah, he is so comforting and inspiring.

Brilliant,can I ask is there any follow up videos to this?
Look for the daily discourse of the 10 courses. It'll be in there in the first day or 2.
I jst wnt to ask u this when u r doing anapana meditation do u intentionally inhale and exhale or focus on ur subconscious breath cos I can't do latter part.... My subconsciously inhale and exhale but i dont knw how to feel tht... If I do inhale exhale slowly n focus on tht will tht work...
Don't force anything, just observe the breath and be aware that you are breathing in and breathing out. You can use buddho word to aid this process, mentally note 'bud' on in breath and 'dho' on out breath.
Hi brother I hope you are doing well please check this 10 minutes guided meditation by Sri sn goenka ji, here you'll find how to practice correctly.

Goenkaji, this teacher, would tell you that you are not to manipulate the breath -- that you should observe the natural, existing pattern of the breath. You focus on the entrance of the nostrils and fell only the sensation of the air passing in and out. Do not regulate the speed or depth of your breathing, just observe what it's doing at the present moment.
The only exception is if you're in a state where you can't feel the airflow in or out, then you're allowed to take a deeper breath or two to re-attach to both sensations, then return to normal breathing. For this reason he also insists that you start meditating indoors where a breeze might make it difficult to feel the air going in and out of your nostrils. I suppose a strong enough fan indoors would do the same, so probably avoid that also.
As you get more experience, you should be able to mediate in a wider range of environments.
@@ericbwertz yeah whenever I focus at entrance of nostrils I stop breathing thts wht confusing me
I didn't understand how/why you were doing this, but after a few days I realized that sometimes I do this also. This happens when you're TOO deeply focused on your breath.
The other comment from @StreamWinner14 is good: "Don't force anything, just observe the breath and be aware that you are breathing in and breathing out. "
Just sit and breathe normally, then after a few moments just start to observe it -- to simply recognize that you're breathing. Without changing how you're breathing, just notice how you're breathing (fast, slow, shallow, deep, etc.). That's about it. But it still takes getting used to not changing your breathing as you watch it because for some reason you think that you "should" be doing it some other way ("too fast", "too slow", etc.). The ONLY thing to notice is HOW and NOT WHY. It just is what it is. @@BoseDkbhag
