Rose explains Anapana Sati, which is Buddha's lecture on meditating and breathing. Maha-satipatthana Sutta, the Great Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness. The Buddha laid special stress on this meditation, for it is the gateway to enlightenment and Nibbana adopted by all the Buddhas of the past as the very basis for their attainment of Buddhahood.

Rose Elliott is the author of Every Breath You Take: How to Breathe Your Way to a Mindful Life (2017). This is her talk at Watkins Books on February 2, 2017.

Rose Elliot was amazed when she discovered that originally mindfulness was completely linked to our breath. Following the Buddha’s simple instructions, Rose began to practice, and found it benefited every area of her life, helping her through the most difficult time, her husband’s rapid decline into dementia and subsequent death. Mindfulness breathing is now a constant part of Rose’s life, as she has described in her new book, Every Breath You Take. In this talk, Rose will describe her experiences with the monk; how to do mindfulness breathing, and how it can benefit you too. Rose says: ‘We’ll learn and practice together, and there’ll be time for questions too: do come along; this could change your life like it has mine. I hope to see you!’
