Developing Mindfulness Of The Breathing At Least 20 Minutes Is Cultivation

We normally shower each day to clean ourselves, and without it we feel uncomfortable. Our mind, too, needs regular cleansing as it encounters many emotions daily. This can be done by keeping a habit of practicing the cultivation of loving-kindness (metta bhavana) for 20 minutes per session,one to three times every day.

Concentrate your awareness on the deep in-breath and long out-breath. Keep mindfulness and clear comprehension fixed on the breaths. Pay no attention to the past, leave the future alone and just be one with the present moment. Let go of all determined conditions (sammutti), such as being a man, woman, father, mother, child or adult. We even have to let go of ourselves, our body, feeling, thoughts and all perceptions. Our mind is all powerful; what we think becomes reality. A goal you set your mind on will materialize. Therefore, if you want happiness now, you have the ability to attain it.

Think of a pure and brilliant mind and it will arise. Think about joy (pin) and happiness (sukha) and they will arise. Take a deep in-breath and long out-breath. Once the mind is concentrated, you will experience joy and happiness, the target you set your mind on.
