Anapana Practice

Healing our reactivity through a guided mindfulness practice.

I'm sorry, this website is still being built

Page not ready yet

Pages are being written and updated regularly. There is enough on this site so far that you can make a start with learning the Anapana Practice. By the time you're ready to move on, I hope more pages will be ready to guide you on the way.

Pages in the Understanding Anapana section will also be added to accompany those in the Learning section, but that section as a whole will probably be the last one to be completed—if a site like this is ever completed!

I hope your Anapana Adventure will be fruitful. If you need any more help or information, do send me a message.

Thank you for your patience.
