The First 4 Exercises of Mindful Breathing | Thich Nhat Hanh

Part of the free Plum Village app plumvillage.app/ * Mindfulness and concentration are a source of happiness, and in this audio recording, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh guides you through the first exercises of mindful breathing, from following inbreath and outbreath (“the only object of your mind”) all the way through to generating the energy of mindfulness by being with your body (“a wonder that contains the whole cosmos”).

1. Know. Know that you are breathing in. 2. Follow. Follow your in-breath and out-breath all the way through, focused entirely on the breath. 3. Body. Be with your body. Be aware of your body and remember that you have a body. 4. Release. Allow your body to release all tension.

Thank you Venerable Thay for sharing what Nelson Mandela said, Sit down and do nothing was so hard for me before I practiced your teachings, but now I understand little bit more and practice mindfully, and my life is improving step by step. Evangelina Cortes.

That's amazing Evangelina!

Breathing in means to take a concious breath in deliberately and breathing out deliberately ? Orto feel the in breath and out breath at nostril or at abdomen ?

May I know how I can be acquainted with the 16 breathing techniques? Is there a guided meditation on the 16 breathing techniques? I've seen the talks, including the songs, but I'd really like something that I can follow. Thank you.

[@plumvillageapp]

We've already had other friends asking for the 16 exercises of Mindful breathing and we have it on our list :) When the conditions are right, we will be able to offer it on the App. If you would like to go deeper into this beautiful practice you can find a Talk by our teacher Thay which he gave in 2009, where he explains the different steps:) www.mindfulnessbell.org/archive/tag/16+exercises+for+mindful+breathing Please feel free to reach out to us anytime for suggestions or any questions you might have.

Oh so I should breath more on my in breath. Since learning Yoga, I squeeze my diaphragm. And then relax letting my lungs fill automatically. Thank you.
