Anu Preksha

contemplating upon the perceptions experienced during meditation.

Anu: afterwards
Preksha: to perceive carefully and profoundly

Anupreksha is contemplation on an ethical value and the technique to integrate it into the own ethical canon. Those value imbibing exercises are coupled with breath control, concentration on psychic centres and colour imagination.

After religious meditation, four anupreksha are generally practised:

1. Anupreksha of solitariness
2. Anupreksha of the transitoriness of life
3. Anupreksha of helplessness
4. Anupreksha of cycle of birth and death.
