Not-Self Contemplation with the Breath | Buddhist Guided Meditation | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Dhammagiri | Anatta-Sañña Anapanasati


Listen Later

In this guided meditation, Ajahn Dhammasiha suggests to develop the perception of:

"Not-Self; Not-Me; Not-I; Not-Mine" 

together with the breath as our meditation object.


We we try to quieten down in meditation, we're often assailed by all kinds of thoughts, worries and images arising in our mind. Rather than fighting them or trying to suppress them, we regard all disturbing thoughts, emotions, phantasies, and so on as:

This is not me. This is not mine This is not my Self.


Seen as not really belonging to us, they loose their power over us, and we can let go of them. Additionally, 'Anatta-Saññā' can be applied even to our meditation object, the breath itself. If we see the breath as 'not-me', we do not hold it too tightly, and the meditation goes swimmingly.
