Breath and Text Study
A modern reading exercise placed beside an early Buddhist discourse on mindfulness of breathing.
Instructions
- Read the linked discourse before beginning; do not treat this short exercise as a substitute for the text or a teacher.
- Sit comfortably and notice whether the breath is long or short without forcing it.
- Attend to the experience of the whole body while breathing.
- Close by writing one sentence about what changed in your attention.
This sequence was created for Scripture in Sound. Its historical reference is MN 118 in a CC0 translation; the wording and four-step exercise are modern editorial work.
