In depth discussion on breath meditation
On the face of it it is simple: feel your breathing, and when you notice the mind wandered away, return attention to breath.
People tend to add things like controlled breath or counting breath, but there are good reasons not to employ the volition in these ways. Basically, breath meditation is based on 'seeing it as it is', and not 'making it as you want it to be'.
These are my opening statements. I hope to have a constructive discussion that benefits SF members.
