The Practice of Releasing and Letting Go
With the practice of mindful breathing you can generate joy through three concrete methods the Buddha offers:
- release – letting go of ideas and obstacles that block happiness
- mindfulness – being fully aware of “the blue sky, the beautiful hills, the face of your lovely child” in the present moment
- concentration – sinking deeply into whatever you are doing so your joy is full and undistracted
Yesterday’s four exercises on mindful breathing:
- “Breathing in, I know this is my in-breath. Breathing out, I know this is my out-breath.”
- “Breathing in, I follow my in-breath all the way through … breathing out, I follow my out-breath all the way through.”
- “Breathing in, I am aware of my whole body.”
- deep total relaxation – releasing body tension by breathing in and out
The Buddha’s fifth through eighth exercises on the realm of feelings:
- bring in a feeling of joy – the hope of water in the desert
- bring in a feeling of happiness – drinking the water, deep peace beyond excitement
- recognize painful feelings – see anger, fear or despair as they arise with mindfulness
- embrace and release painful feelings – tenderly hold and let go of their density by mindful breathing or walking
