Breathe in with a sense of refreshment; breath out with a sense of refreshment. And this is how you get there, by being aware of the whole body, by calming the way the breath comes in, calming the way the breath goes out. This allows for a sense of fullness. It’s almost as if every cell in your body is allowed to have its space and to fill up its space, all the way down to the tips of your toes, all the way down to the tips of your fingers, through all the muscles of your head , through all the muscles at the back of your head, down the back of your neck, all the parts of the body that you tend to ignore. Allow all of them to have their space, so that they are not squeezed with the out-breath, not pressured with the in-breath. The more there’s a sense of connectedness of the breath energy throughout the body, the less pressure you have to apply. It’s almost as if you allow all the pores of your skin to open up, and everybody gets to breathe. Everybody gets to have a part of the breath." - Thanisarro Bhikkhu https://www.dhammatalks.org/Archive/Writings/CrossIndexed/Published/ePublishtalks4/080105theBuddha's16Steps.pdf #Dharma #Mindfulnes #Meditation​ #Breath #AnapanasatiSutta ThanissaroBhikkhu #fediverse #networking @dharma-notes@paper.wf @dharma@a.gup.pe @AnapanasatiSutta@a.gup.pe @ThanissaroBhikkhu@a.gup.pe ]]> “This leads up to the next step, being sensitive to rapture—or refreshment, which is probably a better translation of the Pali word, piti.
