The breath: always with us, necessary to our very existence, but often unnoticed. Yet giving it attention can transform our life.
The mindfulness of breathing meditation has been practiced in the Buddhist tradition for 2500 years and is also found in other contexts, such as yoga and, in recent times, stress and pain management. In The Breath, Vessantara, who has been meditating on the breath for over 30 years, writes engagingly for both newcomers to meditation and those with some experience, giving us:
Clear instructions on how to meditate on the breath
Practical ways to integrate meditation into our lives
Suggestions for deepening calm and concentration
Advice on how to let go and dive into experience Insights into the lessons of the breath
The Breath returns us again and again to the fundamental and precious experience of being alive.
