This is a short, simple mindfulness of breathing practice based on the first tetrad of the Anapanasati Sutta (mindfulness of in and out breathing). This teaching instructs the practitioner to begin with awareness of the breath, then become aware of the entire body, and finally to calm "bodily fabrication." This can be a useful meditation all on its own, or could be a good way to get calm and centered before other practices. I hope you find it useful! https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN118.html http://insig.ht/gm_98707 https://markzelinsky.com/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Aj9aSIMLP8
This guided meditation uses the Anapanasati Sutta (Mindfulness of in and out breathing) as a guideline. It moves through the sutta once slowly, and then recaps the main points to promote a broad guide for concentration practice through awareness of the breath.

This meditation may be best (not necessarily) for practitioners with some experience, because it presumes some familiarity with “mindfulness of breathing.” The five faculties are conviction (faith, confidence), energy, mindfulness, concentration, and discernment. This is not an exhaustive look at the five faculties, but my distillation for the purpose of a guided meditation. I recommend the work of Thanissaro Bhikkhu for further study.

This practice blends breath meditation and visualization to give the meditator an opportunity to craft their own inner space. The metaphor of a cathedral is used to illustrate the possibility of cultivating great scope and sacredness of that inner space through practice.
