Thanks for your answer.

Do you understand what I mean by conscious breathing? Or perhaps mindfulness of breath?

Lol, obviously you do.

So, how did you achieve conscious breathing?
I am currently trying to practice non action with regard to awareness of the breath and my understanding is whenever my awareness goes to my breath, rather than trying to focus consciously on it, I just let my awareness be exactly as it, be aware of whatever it wants to be aware of, and my thoughts just come as they come holding onto nothing, letting it all through, and I'm guessing that this equal acceptance of the states of 'being conscious of my breathing' and 'not being conscious of my breathing' will eventually lead to it happening automatically by itself... To be done through non action

Could you please give me feedback of this idea if you would like to?
Either way, thanks for your help.

All the best on the path. I wish for you tolerance, endurance, love, wisdom... I am that I am

Thank you for being so kind, but I have to say i know nothing about this breath thing, I'm not a practicing Taoist, but I am what the Tao points to, I am the Source, I am Consciousness, as all is, you only need to realize that for yourself and the Tao will take care of its SELF.
