Breath, Joy and Letting Go | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | Anapanasati Piti Sukha Viraga Patinissagga

Ānāpāṇasati, mindfulness of the in and out breath, is the Buddha's own favourite meditation object, and the one he has given particular detailed instructions about.

One peculiar advantage is that breath meditation can be used to develop both:

  1. Samatha (calm/samādhi/concentration)
  2. Vipassana (insight/wisdom)

To cultivate and deepen samādhi, with every in and outbreath we develop:

  • Gladness
  • Joy
  • Rapture
  • Bliss


To develop vipassanā, with every breath we contemplate:

  • Impermanence
  • Dispassion
  • Fading away
  • Ending
  • Cessation
  • Letting go


In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha directs us not to apply the contemplation of impermanence and letting go directly to the breath itself. The breath is our anchor, and when we let go of the breath, we loose our meditation object.

Instead, we contemplate the fading away of distracting thoughts, the cessation of anxieties about the future, the letting go of unwholesome or sensual feelings and emotions.
