Watching the Mind while Watching the Breath | Guided Buddhist Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | 3rd Satipatthana

Often meditators are focussed so much on the meditation object, that they lose awareness of the general state of their mind, and how the mind relates to the meditation object.

Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to become fully aware of our mind while we're watching the breath, as the Buddha described in the third tetrad on Ānāpāṇasati:

  • We train ourselves to breathe in and out experiencing the mind
  • We train ourselves to breathe in and out exceedingly delighting the mind
  • We train ourselves to breathe in and out unifying the mind
  • We train ourselves to breathe in and out liberating the mind


In other words, the breath serves as anchor for our awareness, but the main object we're attending to is the quality of out mind. We're observing the mind while it's meditating on the breath. And we're gently cultivating the moods and emotions that are helpful and beneficial for our mind, and that support progress in our meditation.
