Aana pana sati

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

'Aana pana sati' is taught and propagated widely by Buddha and buddhists. It is a simple and extraordinary technique to calm the mind. Since it is simple, people will find it difficult to practice. It takes a minute to explain this to a person. The onus is on the practitioner to practice it all the time. Patience is the key. Continued practice will yield great results.

How to do :

Observe the in-breath and out-breath. Keep your attention on the breath that is going in and the breath that is coming out. Do not hold the breath, or breathe forcefull or alter the breathing pattern. Just observe the breathing and observe that the mind is slowed down and becomes calm and serene.

This can be practiced anytime. While walking, eyes open or closed, talking, sitting, lying down.
