A short breathing meditation you listen to and follow. Start with the introduction and practice recording; once you know how to practise, the shorter practice-only recording is enough. Free, in five languages.

Listen to this one first. It explains what to do, then guides the practice.
Guidelines
1. A Mini Anapana session should be conducted in a quiet hall or room suitable for meditation
2. Participants must listen and practice carefully, sitting with their backs straight while maintaining complete silence through out the entire session
3. Neither the person hosting the session nor anyone else should give any other instructions, live or recorded; the only instructions given should be that of Mr. Goenka's Mini Anapana recording
4. There should be no charge whatsoever for attending a Mini Anapana session
Note: Participants who attend Mini Anapana sessions will not be considered as "Old Students" in this tradition. They can not participate in any programs designated as "For Old Students only".
These session notes are only available in English so far.
