Aanapanasati is the meditation of mindfulness about the inhale and exhale. The name Aanapanasati, itself also reflects the meaning since ‘Aana’, ‘Pana’, and ‘Sati’ reflects the meanings of inhale, exhale, and consciousness, respectively. Therefore, we shall only focus on the breath when we do Aanapanasati meditation. It is like a gate keeper watching the people who come in and go out of the gate. Here, one shall not breathe intensionally and forcefully. You just need to focus on the air that inhale and exhale (breath). When it is an inhale, you shall think of as ‘Inhale’ while when it is an exhale you shall think as ‘Exhale’. You will see that your mind is being started to get concentrated at this point. You can explore Dhamma discourses such as Mahasatipatthana Sutta, Aananda Sutta, and Aanapanasati Sutta to develop your Aanapanasati meditation. Buddhavision is trying to translate these discourses into English at present.
