Burmese Meditation | Meditate with Ramiro Calle
“Feel, experience.”
I propose this meditative exercise, fully guided by Ramiro Calle, a pioneer of yoga teaching in Spain, who has been teaching meditation classes since January 1971, when he founded the Shadak Yoga and Orientalism Center.
The meditation we are going to perform is based on the method of Mahāsī Sayādaw, a Burmese Theravada Buddhist monk and meditation master who had a significant impact on the teaching of vipassana meditation in the West and throughout Asia.

“Sayadaw was born in 1904 in Burma and ordained a monk at the age of twenty, after eight years of novitiate. He received teachings from U Narada, a master believed to have attained the highest realization and who died in 1955. Mahasi Sayadaw intensely practiced Vipassana meditation according to The Four Foundations of Mindfulness, described in the Satipatthana Sutta (Majjhima Nikaya 10). From 1941 until his death in 1982, he dedicated himself to teaching meditation.”
Exercises we will practice:
1- Preliminary and initial concentration-tranquilization exercise: Observation of the rising and falling movements of the abdomen produced by breathing. Note with pure attention when the abdomen expands and when it returns to its initial position, avoiding any distractions as much as possible. If distractions occur, return your attention again and again to the rising and falling movements of the abdomen during breathing. Breathing should occur naturally, and abdominal movements should be slow and gentle.
2. Capture the fleeting moment between inhalation (the abdomen rises) and exhalation (the abdomen falls), and vice versa.
3. Return to the preliminary exercise; observe the rising and falling movements of the abdomen produced by breathing.
4. As a secondary contemplation to the primary exercise, become lucidly aware of all the psycho-mental processes that arise, and immediately return to the first exercise.
5. Pay attention to the different sensations in the body.
6. Return to observing the rising and falling movements of the abdomen produced by breathing.
