Ānāpānasati (Mindfulness of Breathing)
Ānāpānasati is a Pali compound word that directly translates to "mindfulness of breathing". It combines three roots: Āna (inhalation), Pāna (exhalation), and Sati (mindfulness or awareness).
The term represents a fundamental meditation practice taught by the Buddha. It is classically outlined in the Ānāpānasati Sutta (MN 118) of the Pali Canon, which breaks the practice down into 16 specific steps grouped into four tetrads.
