Summary
Take your seat and hold the body still, like a stone statue. Then keep your attention on the breath coming and going — only watching. You have made a choice to stay aware of the breath; by giving it energy, the choice (vikalpa) becomes a resolve (sankalpa). Watch that happen.
The mind gathers the reports of the senses: whether the breath is long or short, how its touch feels, how far it reaches — the navel, the heart, the throat or the point between the eyebrows. When the mind wanders and awareness returns, ask: who noticed that the mind had gone? Each time you remember, bow to that seer within you.
Key points
- Hold the body still; watch the breath.
- A choice becomes a resolve when you give it energy.
- Notice where the breath is felt.
- Honour the awareness that notices the wandering mind.
