Mindfulness of Breathing. Bodhipaksa This meditation practice, in one form or another, is very widespread in the Buddhist world.
The particular form taught here — in four stages — is found in the Visuddhimagga (Path of Purity) of the great Theravadin scholar, Buddhaghosa, who lived in 5th century India and Sri Lanka. It therefore has a long pedigree, even if there’s no description in the earliest Buddhist scriptures that corresponds exactly with this form of the practice. This particular version of the Mindfulness of Breathing is mainly aimed to calm and focus the mind, and is therefore what is known as a samatha (Sanskrit, shamatha), or calming practice rather than a vipassana, or insight, one. The Sanskrit equivalent to the word vipassana is vipashyana and both words mean insight, or truly seeing the nature of reality. The traditional name for this meditation practice is Anapanasati.
It’s important to note that the practice involves noticing that the mind has been wandering and bringing it back to the breath. Spotting meditation posture bad habits. Bodhipaksa A lot of slumping and over-arching results from holding the pelvis at the wrong angle.
So some slumping and over-arching can be corrected quite simply by changing your posture. Again, it’s best to have an experienced meditation teacher check your posture, but if you can’t manage that then there are some self-tests you can do. Slip your hand under your buttocks (I bet you never thought meditation was going to be so much fun!). There are two little bones that protrude downwards through your buttocks. If you can’t feel those bones then rock your pelvis back and forwards. If the top of your pelvis tilts forwards (causing your back to over-arch), then the sitting bones slide off the back of your hands.
When your pelvis is perfectly aligned, then the sitting bones point straight down into your hands (or your seat, once you’ve removed your hands!). So, what you are aiming for is to have those sitting bones pointing straight down while your back is relaxed and at ease. Comments.
