Vipassana

As thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations begin to pop up, we note them and let them be
as they are, not trying to push them away, or holding onto them and indulging them. We begin
to become mindful of the precise details of our thought and perceptual processes and also
aware of the relationship between them. A thought or feeling arises, and then it goes away.
Where it arises from and whence it goes, who can say?

Ānāpānasati

A traditional method given by The Buddha in the Satipatthana Sutta is to go into the forest and sit
beneath a tree and then to simply watch the breath, if the breath is long, to notice that the breath
is long, if the breath is short, to notice that the breath is short.
