Breath Meditation, Breath Awareness Meditation, Anapanasati
Breath meditation also called Breath Awareness Meditation, or Anapanasati, focuses on the breath. It is a basic meditation that
strengthens your spiritual core and is good for beginners to start with.
It is better to meditate for many short sessions in the beginning. As time goes on and you progress the session will lengthen.
Continuity is important. Daily practice is better than weekly practice.
A good sign of progress is that a meditation session seems much shorter than it really was. If it seems a long time and it was
only a short time then it is a sign you should shorten your meditation session.
Benefits of Breath Meditation
Breath meditation will expand your consciousness.
Breath meditation will reduce stress and anxiety, lead to greater emotional control, improve memory, increase compassion, and
increase focus.
Changes occur to the brain that can be seen on brain scans.
There is a thickening of brain tissues in the areas of emotional control. Also various other changes have been observed.
Breath meditation strengthens your psychic (spiritual) core. It will help with all other meditation goals.
Breath meditation will strengthen your ability to stay awake during meditation and remember the experience. This helps you to
stay awake during astral projection and to remember the experience.
Breath meditation will help lucid dreamers to remember the experience and to stay lucid during wake induced lucid dreaming
(WILD).
Breath meditation is a basic exercise that helps teach the mental discipline required for the meditative effort.
Breath meditation is good for beginners to start with and for everyone to do on regular daily basis in order to exercise your
psychic and spiritual core.
Nose Breathing
It is best to breathe through the nose at all times. If your nose is a little stuffy breathing in and out through it all the
time will help clear it up.
For more information on the importance of nose breathing and the breath in general read, "Science Of Breath" available at
Amazon in book form for a small price and available online in eBook form for free:

philosophy found in some but not all print versions)

For those who have clogged sinuses there is a cleansing process that involves taking water in through the nose and expelling
out the mouth. This is called Neti. There are a variety of variations. There are a lot of instructions available online. Be
sure to use distilled water with a bit of added salt. Tap water may not be good for the sinuses.
Nose vs Belly
Some say focus should be on the tip of the nose others think it should be on the rising and falling belly. I recommend starting
with the tip of the nose. Focus on the feeling of the air at the tip of the nose as it goes in and out.
Focus on the rising and falling belly can be done by those whose sinuses are too clogged to breathe through. And it can be used
by those who prefer that technique.
Sensations During Meditation
Meditators often report feeling various sensations during meditation. Twitching, itching, tingling, and other sensations and
strong emotions.
Just observe these sensations and let them pass.
These sensations are your physical and subtle bodies filling with healing energy. Energy imbalances and blockages are being
corrected. You are releasing negative energy, stress, traumatic experiences, negative feelings, negative thoughts, negative
miasms and other negative energies.
For more on sensations during meditation see my video:
Odd Sensations and Strong Emotions From Meditation.
Basic Breath Meditation
Use a quite place. Sit in a comfortable position. Sitting is preferred rather than lying. Lying down is OK however one is more
likely to fall asleep. It is most important to keep back straight to prevent sleepiness and back strain.
Breathe in and out through the nose. Relax. Breathe in relaxation and positive energy. Breathe out tension and negative energy.
Bring your awareness to your feet release all tension in your feet. Move your awareness slowly through your whole body, legs,
stomach, back, arms, hands, shoulders, neck, face, head. Release the tension and relax as you breathe in and out.
Breathe from the area below the navel. Bring your attention to your breath. Breathe in through your nose. As you breathe in the
area below your navel, front, back and sides should expand outward. Breathe out. As you breathe out, the area below the navel
contracts inward.
Keep your awareness on your breath at the tip of your nose. Continue to breathe. As thoughts come into your mind acknowledge
them and bring your awareness back to your breathing.
As feelings arise note them and move your awareness back to your breathing.
Final Note
In addition to breath meditation I strongly suggest Rhythmic Breathing as described in "Science Of Breath" and the Prana
distribution and other healing techniques in that book.

"Science Of Breath" is a small but powerful book. It will only take a short time to read. Read it again and again. It is more
informative than it seems.
If you like "Science of Breath"
there are also other books by Yogi Ramacharakara for free in eBook form:
I would start with "Science Of Breath" then read in the following order:
"Fourteen Lessons In Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism"
"Advanced course in Yogi philosophy and oriental occultism"
"The Science of Psychic Healing"
Then read all the other books listed.
