Passaddhi

Passaddhi is a type of meditation practice. It is a Hindu or Buddhist tradition that helps people relax and be in the present moment. In passaddhi, people focus on their breathing and try to let go of all thoughts and worries. They do this by repeating a mantra (a phrase or sound) to themselves over and over again and concentrating on the movement of their breath. Passaddhi teaches us to be mindful, which is about the awareness of our thoughts and feelings in the present moment. It also helps us to be calm and develop patience. Meditation can help us to become more aware of our feelings and how to manage them. The goal of passaddhi is to bring the mind and body into a peaceful and relaxed state.
