Breath Awareness - The Most Important Meditation

Ana pana sati yoga is awareness of the ingoing and outgoing breath. The buddha didn't saye stop thinking. But he said, be aware of your breast. When you really listen, you're not thinking. You have to give your complete attention to the listening. If a labor should arise in your mind, you let it go immediately. Certain noises that you can hear are more helpful than man made noises. I recommend the japanese bamboo flute, which is called shaku hachi. Shaku hachi is a simple bamboo with low holes in it.
