Focused meditation in which the meditator concentrates attention on the natural and uncontrolled movement of the breath. Regular practice of Ananpana-sati can help reduce mental dullness, increase mental clarity, enhance cognition, and improve memory.
Anapana-sati is one of the classic techniques of Satipatthãna. In the Satipatthãna Sutta, the Buddha said: This is the direct path for the purification of beings, for the down-going of grief and suffering, for the realization of the Inner Peace and Great Bliss that is Nibbana (Nirvana). - MEDICINE QI GONG (Energy Attainment) for HEALTH, HEALING, and CALMING
Special exercises developed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine system (TCM) for cleansing, strengthening, and nourishing the Energy Body and the major organs of the Physical Body.
Medicine Qi Gong uses gentle physical movements, visualizations, sound, and focused breathing. All the exercises can be done standing, sitting, or reclining.
