In Jain Dharma, there isn’t a canonical practice called “meditation of observing breath” (anapanasati) like you may find in some other traditions. Jain meditation typically centers on purifying the mind and removing passions, rather than a focused breath-awareness technique.

What Jain meditation usually involves

• Samayika: a period of quiet, mindful reflection to cultivate equanimity and control of thoughts and emotions.
• Kayotsarga: a drifting away from body-consciousness and detachment from bodily sensations, often used during deep contemplation or in posture.
• Pratikraman: self-review and turning away from faults, with meditation on right conduct, right knowledge, and right faith.

-Reflection on virtues and vows: mindfulness of non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), non-stealing (asteya), celibacy, and non-possessiveness, to purify the mind.

If you are seeking a Jain-style quieting of the mind, you might start with a simple, practical approach aligned with Jain aims:

• Sit calmly with a straight posture.
• Close your eyes and take even, gentle breaths without trying to control them too tightly.
• Bring the focus to a single virtue you wish to cultivate (e.g., compassion, truthfulness) and gently observe thoughts as they arise, returning to the virtue whenever distraction occurs.
• End with a short reflection on Jain reverence (e.g., paying homage to the Tirthankaras) and a resolve to live more in line with Jain vows.
